Biog:-

The Brights have been enjoying success in Japan with a debut Japanese single in November 07 on Fastcut records ‘London belongs to me’ (FCEP-001). The single got to no 2 in Japan’s Jetset Records chart, outselling Babyshambles and Jack Penate.

A Japanese tour is planned for May/June 08 to coincide with the release of a mini album on Rimeout records, Japan.

The Brights featured on German indie label Firestation Records ‘The new British Invasion’ compilation in 2006 alongside the Pipettes, Rumble strips and Vincent Vincent & the Villains.

The Brights have been featured artist on XFM Music Response show, track of the week on BBC Essex, Bristol & Suffolk and were one of the last bands to be playlisted by John Peel.
