The Plight

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Plight is a hardcore based rock and roll band from Leeds, England who are well known for their Thin Lizzy meets Black Flag style.

The band started in Leeds in late 2004 and used to practise in Lewis' dad's front room in Rodley, Leeds. Within two months they had written a demo and began playing live all over the UK. The demo was well received and landed them gigs and tours with bands such as Sick Of It All, Modern Life is War, Lights Out and The Suicide File.

The Plight then signed to Thirty Days Of Night Records with whom they released a short 7 track, 18 minute EP, featuring the song 'Ball and Chain'. A full UK tour with southern nasties Gallows followed along with a selection of dates with bands such as Clouds and SSS.

Although they were originally a four piece, Aliskull (vocals), Lewis (guitar), Liam (Bass) and John D (drums), they recruited Stoz to play second guitar in late 2006.

All their hard work paid off in March 2007 when they were picked up and signed by Visible Noise Records, home to Bring Me The Horizon, The Legacy, and Lost Prophets. The band stated that they are going to be releasing a new EP in Ocotber 2007 followed by an album in 2008.
