The Jacklights - Final Girl [EP]
Self-Released
Boston punks The Jacklights barely get out alive on the four-song project named after the classic slasher movie archetype. Each track is full of vivid New England autumn imagery, setting the scene in the darkness of autumn nights as singer-guitarist Nilagia McCoy’s narrators find themselves stranded on back roads and forced to escape from relationships that have since become haunted houses. The proverbial “final girl” doesn’t have to be flashy or glamorous, but she’s tough and she always wins, and McCoy and her bandmates bring the same down-to-earth fire to their own horror movie. – Worcester Magagine’s favorite albums of 2023

The Jacklights are Nilagia McCoy (vocals, guitar), Mike Allen (bass), and Mike Gaylord (drums). Based in Boston, they have been playing energetic, hook-driven melodic punk with a 90s alt rock influence since 2020. Taking inspiration from the likes of Hüsker Dü, Jawbreaker, Descendents, Alkaline Trio, Tsunami Bomb, Pretty Girls Make Graves, and others, the band has received college radio play and positive reviews in Boston and beyond. They were nominated for Punk Rock Act of the Year in the New England Music Awards in 2021, 2022, and 2023.
