Latest from YouTube.
Northern Lights is a five-piece that started playing together in 2024.
Their first show had about 20 people in the room. Over the next year, they played five shows around Chicago, using each one to sharpen their sound and figure out the kind of live band they wanted to become.
In September 2025, Northern Lights opened for Red Leather at Beat Kitchen, a night that marked an important step forward for a band still building things show by show.
Since then, they’ve kept writing, recording, and pushing their sound forward, balancing heavy guitars, melody, groove, and live shows that are raw and real.
In 2026, Northern Lights released new music including “Nonstop” and “Think of 2,” and spent October on the road with Red Leather on the TAHOE World Tour: 11 nights from St. Paul to Philadelphia. See the recap.
Now they’re back in Chicago finishing JUNE, their first album.
Midwest roots. Chicago home base. Still building it one show at a time.
The short version, if you just found us.
Northern Lights is a five-piece alt-rock band from Chicago, Illinois. They started playing together in 2024 and play heavy guitars, melody and groove, with loud, crowd-first live shows.
Amin (lead vocals), Kamila (guitar), Martyna (keys and vocals), Adam (drums) and Jared (bass).
“Think of 2,” a single out February 28, 2026. Before it came “Nonstop” (2026), “Less Than An Hour” (2024) and their first single, “Northern Lights” (2024). They’re now finishing their first album, JUNE. All songs and lyrics.
Yes. In October 2026 Northern Lights supported Red Leather on the TAHOE World Tour: 11 shows from St. Paul to Philadelphia, October 8 to 22. Photos, videos and fan posts from every night are in the tour recap. Upcoming shows and tickets are in Live.
Heavy guitars, big melodies and a groove you feel in your chest, with two voices trading off on top: modern alt-rock with a grunge-revival edge. Start with “Think of 2.” More on the sound and the bands they've played with.
