Blacklite District is an American rock band formed in Spearfish, South Dakota, and led by vocalist and producer Kyle Pfeiffer.
The band has four songs which have reached Top 40 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart, and has accumulated over a billion streams.
[1] Kyle Pfeiffer formed a "band" with childhood friends as a pre-teen in 2002, and met Roman James in 5th grade, who soon joined the group as well.
Hanson referred the band to former Creed bassist Brett Hestla, who produced their debut album.
[5] In the interview, Pfeiffer discussed the band's newly released album 'To Whom it May Concern' and the song 'The Struggle', saying that the meaning of it is about him losing his mother to a drug overdose when he was a little kid.
The song spent 16 weeks in the top-40 of the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart and garnered over 10 million combined streams.
In mid 2022, the band announced that drummer Graham Spillman would be returning to record drums on the five bonus tracks of "1990 - XL".
In late 2023, Blacklite District began recording their eighth album in a studio jointly owned by them and the band Judd Hoos.
On Saturday, October 5, 2024, Blacklite District announced via social media platforms that "You Can Do Better" was the band's first single to be in the running for a nomination for "Best Alternative Performance" at the 2025 Grammy Awards.
