  • l How did you meet? Ben said: “Louis and I are brothers, and best friend Ross grew up on the same road and went to the same school.”
  • l Who influences you? “Lots of different people and things. It could be a film or book, the way a chord sequence is played, visiting a new place, the way someone says or sings something, or a new sound.”
  • l So what is new? “We have a brand new album. Everything That You Stole is set for release on Monday.

“It will be available for download on iTunes, as well as physical CD directly from our new website (InDarklight.com) which has just been launched.

“We have also just released a music video to promote the first single, Somewhere New, which you can currently view on our website, social-media sites or YouTube channel.”

  • l What has been your favourite moment so far? “The last 18 months has been really exciting. We have enjoyed writing the songs for the new album and crafting a new set to play live.

“We feel it is our best material to date and are looking forward to seeing where this takes us and what happens in the future.

“Gigging wise, supporting Toploader at The Lights was a particular favourite moment, as well as supporting Pendulum and New Young Pony Club at the University of Bristol a few years back.”

  • How can you find out more? “We have two special local shows coming up to support the official release of the new album. See us headlining The Rockhouse in Andover on Saturday, June 4, and The Railway in Winchester on Friday, June 10.”

You can find In Darklight on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and SoundCloud.
