Light Years Give You ‘Afterlife’:
Ohio Pop-Punks Unveil New Album Via Rude Records
30th November: In order to celebrate the impending
release of their latest album, Cleveland Quartet Light
Years yesterday unveiled single ‘Paradise’ here.
Frontman Pat Kennedy reveals: “It was the last song we
wrote for ‘Afterlife’, feeling like it could use one more
upbeat, faster song to round it out. It feels like an oldschool
pop-punk song to us, in the vein of Dookie or
Kerplunk. No extra bells and whistles, just catchy
melodies and straight forward riffs. I wrote it thinking
about all the music and things that inspired me to even
want to be in a band in the first place, and that it still
keeps me going today.” Album ‘Afterlife’ is out now,
having seen release today via Rude Records here, with
Kennedy enthusing: “We couldn’t be more proud and
excited to release this record. We have seen so many
ups and downs over the years that when we take a step
back and realize that we get to release a third fulllength
record is incredible. We are truly grateful to
anyone who has been following this band for so long
and hope they will enjoy this record as well.”

Hailing from Cleveland, Ohio, Pop-Punk unit Light Years have weaved their way through the scene for almost a
decade. Formed by vocalist Pat Kennedy, he enlisted in Tommy Englert, Andrew Foerst and Kent Sliney to round out
the group in 2009. They have notched up tours with heavy-hitters like Neck Deep, State Champs, Modern Baseball,
Citizen and Turnover, alongside appearances on The Vans Warped Tour and So What?! Music Festival.
The new 11-track rager was recorded and produced by Will Yip (who also produced the band’s 2015 classic, ‘I’ll See
You When I See You’). In support of the release, the quartet unleashed a number of singles including videos for
‘Bottle Rocket’ here and lead single ‘Back Then’ here - a unique throwback video which features footage from the
band growing up, having been written about their first time on the road. Discussing how much ‘Afterlife’ means to
him, Kennedy reveals: “Afterlife is where Light Years has been heading for the past 8 years. We spent more time on
this record than anything we have done before and I think it shows. We tried new sounds and ideas that before we
would have never thought to do, or been willing to try, which I think only comes from the maturity you get from being
in a band for so many years.”
