Ultra Lights

Ultra Lights is a punchy four piece indie-rock band out of Atlanta bringing fresh pop and garage songwriting grit. Spearheaded by seasoned singer-songwriter John Robinson, the band’s tightly written anthems take influence from greats like The Strokes, Pavement, Archers of Loaf, and Wipers, with a bit of a swaggering lean into some of Australia’s best trash rock.

Endearingly honest and nihilistic sentiments wrapped in singalong melody and clingy guitar hooks have always been Robinson’s specialty, but with Ultra Lights the songs reflect a seasoned maturity. In 2023, Ultra Lights was born: Gus Fernandez on drums, Alex Wharton on bass, and Leela Hoehn on second guitar and backup vocals. Hoehn and Robinson are longtime creative partners, as well as life partners, but this marks their first musical project together. 

Ultra Lights’ 2025 self-titled EP was given high praise by Stereogum, and the band has since opened up for indie-rock greats like The Hold Steady and Les Savy Fav.
