Searchlight was formed in late 2005, when singer/guitarist, Adam Michaels, and bassist, Kevin Abdon, moved from Lake Havasu City, AZ to Las Vegas to start a band. A few weeks after the move, they met drummer, Ricky Torres, and guitarist, Matt Hopkins.
The quartet began diligently writing and soon struck the interest of producer, Branden Steineckert (former drummer of The Used, and current drummer of the punk legends, RANCID). Searchlight traveled to Orem, Utah and recording with Steineckert at Unknown Studios.
One song that was recorded at Unknown Studios,"Contagious", landed a spot on the Resident Evil: Extinction soundtrack and was played during the ending credits of the film.
In February 2009, Searchlight released their debut album, "Until The End And After" and began touring the album in August 2009.

i love when a band can make a new sound and not sound like they are just making noise. i love when a singer can write thought provoking lyrics without sounding like he is just trying to put a bunch of words together with false intentions of sounding deep and philosophical. you guys are a great band i hope you accomplish all you want
trust me i have missed you all insanely. been in school. after this semster i'm a junior which means another 3 years before i go drag you all out on tour as your manager. trust me i am already planning.
fingers crossed that i can make it to your show on the 28th. as long as i dont have to work late or i'm not throwing my guts up (hence why i missed your kick off show for the tour) i shall be there.
