Smokey Brights have been steadily growing out of the mossy Pacific Northwest city of Seattle for over a decade. The band, formed by friends working together at a pizza restaurant, has roots in Seattles DIY punk, songwriter, and psych scenes. Through the groups four LP and three EP releases, you can hear Smokey Brights sonic branches stretching through 70s prog, synthy new wave bops, fuzzy 90s anthems, and intimate indie storytelling. You can also trace the lives and romance of songwriters Ryan Devlin and Kim West who married a few years after the formation of the band. The couples entangled approach to songwriting and melody has yielded a remarkable amount of original, genre bending music. Nick Krivchenias steady, stylish drumming is the backbone of the Smokeys sound, while bassist Luke Rgnar adds low end bounce as well as a third harmony to Ryan and Kims melodies. The bands music has been featured in film, television, video games, and podcasts. Theyved toured throughout the US as well as the UK and mainland Europe. Their most recent releases, 2023s Broken Too EP and Levitator LP, both landed on iconic radio station KEXPs top 90.3 records of the year.
