“The Way Things Should Be is poised to be one of the memorable albums in the pop punk scene and hopefully helps to spearhead City Lights much, much further into their careers. This is a sound that is both tragically nostalgic and impressively cohesive and strong.”
- Kyle Schultz, It's All Dead
“The Way Things Should Be is a twelve track beauty that deserves to be set inside ‘The Pop Punk Hall of Fame.’”
- Tony Shrum, New Noise Magazine
Columbus, Ohio-based pop-punk outfit City Lights present their sophomore album The Way Things Should Be. Fine-tuning their youthful, unrelentingly sound, this release looks back at the golden days of their genre, recalling New Found Glory, MXPX and Alkaline Trio whilst adding a touch of darkness and brooding hardcore for a forward-looking twist.
