A Skylit Drive has been featured on two of Fearless Records’ “Punk Goes” compilations. On “Punk Goes Classic Rock”, released in 2010, the band covered Journey’s radio hit “Separate Ways”. On “Punk Goes Pop, Volume 4”, released in 2011, the band covered “Love The Way You Lie”, originally by Eminem & Rihanna.
The band went on an indefinite hiatus in 2016 following irreconcilable differences within the group. Through the ashes, Jagmin has pulled together a fresh group of faces to reignite the flame that was once so prevalent. In February of 2022, the band released their first release in 7 years with a new single titled “Dead Serious” followed by a second single titled “Sucker” in May of 2022, which had the group’s first-ever featured artist with Abstract.
Now, in 2023, A Skylit Drive have their sights set on celebrating the 15-year anniversary of the band’s first full-length album, “Wires… and the Concept of Breathing”, originally released in May of 2008 via Tragic Hero Records. The group plans to set out on multiple phases (short legs) throughout 2023 projected to cover multiple regions of the United States. Phase 1 is slated to cover the South and Southwest from May 12th – May 20th visiting New Mexico, Arizona, Southern California, Nevada, and parts of Texas. The remaining phases have not been announced as of yet.”
