Brightr – ‘Year One’

Self-described as gloomy emo-pop, Eastbourne’s Brightr takes inspiration from some pretty great acts; think a mix of Into It.

It’s a rather bittersweet feeling to see people in their early to mid-twenties sporting age-old Aiden merch, whilst the younger, more excitable fans babble about how much they’re looking forward to seeing the goth-punk outfit play, even if it is the last time they’ll hit the stage. But that’s
