Ultra Lights

Ultra Lights is an indie rock band based out of Atlanta, GA spearheaded by singer-songwriter John Robinson. Robinson’s song writing style brings out a familiar yet uniquely punchy sound that touches on early 90’s college rock and 70’s proto-punk influences. His lyrics describe classic tales of the human condition; dreams of escape, getting wasted, inevitable failure, and every now and then, rising triumphant. Ultra Lights’ tightly written anthems attempt to bring on a sense of collective revival within a rsteadily evolving and chaotic world.  

The 2023 debut of Ultra Lights as a four piece band comes after a five year gestation period of writing and dabbling in new sounds. While writing timeless ear worms has always been a part of his musical path with projects such as Turf War (2008-2014) and Illegal Drugs (2016-2019), Robinson’s new sound with Ultra Lights has a genuineness and maturity that only comes from patience and persistence. With influences like Modern Lovers, Pavement, Wire, and Archers of Loaf, Ultra Lights brings fresh guitar licks and perennial hooks that cut right to the core and offer a sense of redeeming honesty to rock and roll.
