Sonar Lights is a rock trio from the Dallas-Fort Worth area (Texas, USA) whose sound gives the impression that they are a band of more than three people. Mighty, crunchy guitar riffs influenced from the early heavy metal era with pummeling rhythmic textures and dynamic melodic vocals meld together to produce the band’s tight sound. Music analyst Jon Lee from The Hong Kong Underground sums up the band’s live performance by saying, “There are times when a band strikes the first riff and you instantly know that you’re in for a treat.”Bassist Darren Wise and drummer Doug McKenna joined George Miadis, vocalist, lead guitarist and
driving force behind Sonar Lights. This synthesis of talent brought new energy and excitement the band.

instantly picked up on their new sound. He was present at the new lineups first show and immediately offered
them a recording deal.
