2007 was a year painted with success for herbrightskies. With the release of their EP "Beside Quiet Waters" the band was named "The Pride of Jönköping" - their home town - and heard one of their songs on the radio for the first time. When they weren't working on material for their next release, the band spent a hectic summer playing popular Swedish festivals like Moshpit Open, Rookie and Augustibuller. Fueled by dedication for their music and the scene, the band has come a long way since it all started back in the fall of 2005. With their almost notoriously energetic and powerful live act they have played with the best and met and exceeded the standards of critics and fans over and over again, catching the eye of the international music scene as well. The band has been contacted by several bookers and a horde of fans from all over Europe and America who have showed their appreciation on their website, urging them to tour outside Scandinavia. After releasing their 6 track EP in May 2007 on Pretty Dirty Promotions, the band split ways with their original label in early 2008 to sign with successful up-and-coming Örebro-based label District 19 Inc and in may 2008 the debut album “A Sacrament; Ill City” saw the light of day. From there and on they’ve been constantly playing shows and touring to promote the new album. Starting off by playing the Rookiestage on Swedens biggest festival Hultsfredsfestivalen followed by tours in Europe, the UK and Scandinavia together with some of the biggest underground bands from the UK. Now, with 2009 just around the corner things have not slowed down. Big plans for the new year is coming. First of all being one of the acts nominated for Rockbjörnens Myspace award. Then with the participation on this years PANIC AND ACTION TOUR together with Swedish top acts Chemical Vocation and Adept, covering Sweden with TWENTYFOUR shows and then with a summer full of festivals. Plans for new tours in Europe and the UK are also in the making. If 2008 was the year they won the battle, 2009 is the year they will win the war. www.myspace.com/herbrightskies
