Illiterate Light

Virginia duo Illiterate Light will be one of the bands opening for Bruce on the second day of Asbury Park’s Sea. Hear. Now. Festival. Their new Arches won’t be out until November 1 but the first single, “Norfolk Southern” has been released. It’s a song about a disastrous 2023 train derailment.  “A train derailed in East Palestine Ohio last year, releasing 10,000 gallons of hazardous materials into the atmosphere,” according to a statement from the duo. “The song is heavy, fast and aggressive. Some days I am waving the flag against unhinged industry, and other days I feel just like that Norfolk Southern, barreling out of control at warp speed. For the most part I just wanted to shine a light on the explosion and the community it impacted. It was a big deal.”
