Formed in October 2023, LightzØut is a rising alternative rock trio made up of three young musicians who met through their secondary school’s music department. United by a shared passion for music and a drive to create something unique, they blend the atmospheric intensity of Deftones with the dreamy shoegaze textures of Ringo Deathstarr to craft a sound that’s both raw and immersive.
Fronting the band is 16-year-old Raven Wilder (Ray), originally from Haverhill and now based in Cambridge. Her emotive vocals and heavy, textured guitar chords bring a powerful edge to the band’s sound. Alongside her is 17-year-old Angelika Boldyreva, also from Cambridge, whose layered guitar melodies add depth and shimmer. On drums is 14-year-old Poppy Reeder (Ploppy Grohl), whose tight, energetic rhythms ground the music with precision and youthful drive.
LightzØut has quickly developed a distinct style that fuses emotional complexity with dynamic intensity. Their songs often explore introspective themes through a blend of heavy chords and ambient layers. Though early in their journey, their commitment to honest, compelling music is already drawing attention. With a sound that resonates in both intimate and larger spaces, LightzØut is carving out their place in the modern alternative rock scene.
