Within the first 72 hours, the video was viewed over 1.5 million times.

Their self titled album “The Daylights” was released September 14, 2010 on the band’s own label, 87th Floor Records. The album spent 5 weeks on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart. “Rogue Machine” and “I Hope This Gets To You” both reached Top 50 at Hot AC radio, and The Daylights were the only unsigned band in the Top 100. “I Hope This Gets To You” went to #4 on Sirius XM.

The Daylights had three headlining tours in support of their self-titled album, including the “No Reverse Tour” fall 2011. Other tours include long runs with Katy Perry, OneRepublic, NeedtoBreathe, Civil Twilight and The Parlotones.
