SEATTLE, WA...July 17, 2008...Last week marked the label debut for power pop/rock band Capital Lights. Following their release of This Is An Outrage, Capital Lights finds the debut charting on the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart this week at No. 51. The project also landed on Billboard's Christian Rock chart at No. 12 and Top Christian Albums at No. 34. In addition, This Is An Outrage grabbed the attention of the digital buyers on iTunes as it debuted on overall Rock Chart at No. 27 during street week.

"It definitely feels great to actually be on the Billboard and iTunes charts," exclaims vocalist Bryson Phillips. "God has really been blessing us! We are just glad people are actually buying our album and getting excited about what we are doing. We hope to continue this momentum as we keep touring like crazy the rest of the year."

The media are also jumping on the Capital Lights bandwagon with top reviews and ratings:

"The album is nearly flawless in its aim and execution. Swept up in the excitement from the moment I heard the first song, I cannot think of an album that's more fun so far this year. This Is An Outrage deserves to be on everyone's 'must own' list." -Thealbumproject.com, 5 out of 5 stars

"This Is An Outrage is a fun album, offering provocative lyrics about relationships, quirky song titles, and a ridiculously catchy sound.... Capital Lights is clearly one of the more promising new bands in 2008." -ChristianMusicToday.com 4 out of 5 stars

"Overall, it is an extremely powerful debut and is consistently fun, energetic, and extremely pleasing to the ears. Capital Lights has made a name for themselves with This Is An Outrage, no doubt." -JesusFreakHideout.com, 4.5 out of 5 stars

"This Tooth & Nail band has the earmarks of a group that could make some waves over the next few years. Hopefully, the band will stick with Capital Lights and keep working on their stuff. It's a great place to start, and worth building on for the future." -HollywoodJesus.com

Capital Lights will be a part of the first Creation Festival: The Tour with Kutless, Thousand Foot Krutch, Pillar, KJ-52, Fireflight, Worth Dying For, RunKidRun and Esterlyn. For tour dates and more information, visit: http://www.creationfesttour.com/index.html .
