With Lights and Sirens may be very young but it's origin was actually derrived from many other names that just didn't quite clearly describe what the boys of the band are all about. Formerly known as Paranoid Tuesday, With Lights And Sirens are a new mix of fresh rythm, beat, and ambience.
Consisting of a five piece set, With Lights and Sirens struggled to get just the right line up for this project. With many members interchanging, the band evolved and blossomed from an immature seed to what is now a a full grown sound.
With Lights and Sirens began as a vision shared by lead guitarists/back up vocalist, Will and Frontman/rythm guitarists, Raleigh. Driven by talent and motivation, Raleigh and Will began their search meticulously for the right bassist and drummer to not only join them to play but to be a part of a breathtaking experience of a lifetime. After two bassists and countless drummers, the boys finally found what they were looking for. Jason, who joined the journey in August of 2005 and currently on bass is ridiculously rythmical and skilled for the part. Along the same time, Will and Raleigh were also blessed with a bonus. The most recent addition to the band, Mike, a young innovative drummer who finally completed what seemed to be a never ending search in late autumn of 2005. With a reborned name and a new line up, the band only bacame tighter, more unique, powerful, and aspiring.
The members of With Lights and Sirens has proven to be very ambitous, goal oriented and high-reaching. The band is now taking their vision to a whole new level in hopes of turning it into a dream come true. Although the original members had played a handful of shows before and recorded a previous E.P., they now plan to take the experience, learn, and continue to grow actively in every essense.
With main influences such as Thrice, Thursday, At The Drive-In, and Interpol, it wouldn't be much of a surprise to hear about With Lights and Sirens breaking out of the ever so common "local band" cage and emerging to the widely known post hardcore/progressive scene as one of Chicago's culminating original band.
However, don't be fooled, though With Lights and Sirens is heavily influenced by several astounding and accomplished musicians, you won't find them emulating any of their idols. The boys of With Lights and Sirens are overflowing with incomparable talent andcreativity.
Keeping busy they recently recorded an EP titled "When Change Itself Can Give No More".
