Late Nite Reading is a band from Carmel, Indiana, is very young. Most of the members are still sophomores in high school which is very impressive. This pop punk band has a great sound with their guitars and drums. The vocals, on the other hand, need a little bit of work. The lead vocals are a bit rougher than they need to be. They feel almost too raw to go with the rest of the music. I’m not saying I want them auto tuned to “perfection” like so many other bands these days, I just feel like the vocals stand out from everything else way too much. Every band has to find its sound, and I just feel like this band hasn’t quite found theirs yet. The song I like the best off their EP Cycles and Sounds is Perfection. This song seems to blend well. Perfection has a well orchestrated guitar riffs with their New Found Glory/Green Day sound, this song has a good rhythm that you can tap your foot to, run to, or drum on the table while people stare at you wondering what you are doing. You can currently pick up their Ep on Itunes for $4.95.

Late Nite Reading. The intros to these songs are quite amazing. It gets your body moving and then takes you home with some sick lyrics and deep vocals. Being that they are from Carmel, Indiana I’m a tad bit bias but I think it’s really amazing that high school kids like them can really use their talent like they have. My personal favorite song from their EP is (On) Mainstreet. It has an 80’s feel. Their newest EP single is Detroit. You can check it out on their facebook page. Just search for Late Nite Reading. These kids have shared the stage with a ton of bands. Some of the more noticeable ones are The Maine, Stereo Skyline and Nevershoutnever. The toured on the Caffeine and Skinny Jeans. They defiantly prove that you can rock out no matter what you age is. I’m really impressed with them. Some cons though. The vocals are awesome but I’m not sure the sound quite matches up. They just need to work on combining them in a way that fits best. I have to disagree with my co-host. The rough vocals bring it all together. I enjoy the deep sound. I think it helps bring the most emotion to the lyrics. Its more relate able. That’s it. I have nothing else to say than for them to keep it up and represent.

Bio
Late Nite Reading is hitting the pop-punk scene with a youthful vigor not seen in ages. With a majority of the band being just sophomores & juniors in highschool, LNR packs a punchy, hook-driven mature pop sound at an unheard of age. Backed by their recently released studio EP, LNR is forcing their way into the limelight as one of the youngest professional acts in the business.
Late Nite Reading started out of necessity. Not really, but you get what we're saying. One day, not too long ago, (the start of the summer 2009, actually) Brady (Bassist) approached Dalton (Singer) with the idea of doing a pop punk band together. They plunked around with the idea, wrote some songs, and recruited a drummer. The trio had a practice together, and immediately fell in love. A few more practices later, they added a lead guitarist and they were ready to record. So they did that. The Summer of 2010 they released their first 5 song EP, "Cycles and Sounds". Since that time the roster has changed slightly. Now they're hitting the pop-punk scene with a youthful vigor not seen in ages. With a majority of the band being just sophomores & juniors in highschool, LNR packs a punchy, hook-driven mature pop sound at an unheard of age.
