Episode 4: Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!

Following the success of Enemy and its ascension into pop culture permanence, there was seemingly no pressure on Lit to do more. However, the band continued along the artist's path. After the disappointing performance of Atomic, Lit relocated to Nashville and went through a period of transformation that included a number of standout records including the self-titled Lit, A View From The Bottom and These are The Days. Their journey led them eventually to the present day and a new publishing and recording contract with Round Hill Music, which has produced some of the most exciting music of their career, recapturing the energy that made Lit one of the defining bands in the SoCal pop punk movement.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Episode 2: Everyone Gets Lit

The release of “My Own Worst Enemy” in early ‘99 was like a match in a dry forest. Once the song hit the airwaves on KROQ in LA, it exploded all across the nation. What followed for Lit was a chaotic blur of touring and promotion, as they went from moderate regional success to national fame in the blink of an eye. Their meteoric rise was short lived, however, and the cultural shifts which occurred after 9/11 and the release of their follow up album Atomic sent the band in search of a new direction.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
