The Backfires’ latest single, ‘Brighter Lights’, is an electrifying tribute to New York’s nightlife.
Bursting with infectious energy, the track combines a driving riff, touches of disco and a soaring chorus, to create an iconic indie club anthem. “We wanted to make a song that sounds like New York,” the band explains, capturing the vibrant atmosphere of the city’s club scene. The accompanying music video showcases this vibe with its whimsical heist narrative, merging the gritty edge of Reservoir Dogs with the glitz of Studio 54.
The result is an intoxicating, hard hitting indie banger that could be played in clubs all over the world, not just in New York.
