Unsigned The Daylights, who we profiled multiple times released a new video for
‘I Hope This Gets to You’.

The Daylights have been buzzing for a while performing at SXSW and showcasing for music labels. Maybe this will be the deal closer.

Also, this is just another example of an inexpensive video going viral. The truth is a big budget doesn’t necessarily buy creativity. Also, a viral video doesn’t guarantee a hit single. Do you remember OK Go?

Regardless, The Daylights have much stronger material than OK Go which puts them in a better position for success.
