History
Mary Wyer (ex-Even As We Speak) on lead vocals formed Her Name in Lights in Sydney, initially as a studio band, to record tracks for an album, Into the Light Again. For the sessions Wyer used Almond Cafarella (her then-boyfriend) on guitar and piano, Simon Holmes (of The Hummingbirds) on bass guitar, guitar pump organ and as producer, and Alison Gallaway (of Smudge) on drums and percussion. By the time the album was released on 18 October 2004 via Laughing Outlaw Records the group had started gigging in Sydney and Simon Gibson of Sneeze replaced Gallaway on drums as she returned to Smudge. Soph Gyles of Oz Music Project described the album as "quite pleasant, melodic pop with tempered female vocals, but it doesn't exactly make me want to have a bakesale in celebration". While Pennyblack Music's Malcolm Carter noted "[t]here’s not a dud song on here ... [t]he major attraction is Wyer's vocals, cute, youthful, but without any annoying feyness".
