Blacklite District is originally from the Black Hills of South Dakota, and was founded by guitarist Kyle Pfeiffer, and vocalist Roman James. After years of writing songs and playing live in the Black Hills area, Kyle and Roman were discovered by Grammy Award-winning producer, Stephen Short in early 2011. This brought upon two new members to bring into the equation, bassist Chauncey “CK” Köchel, and session drummer Matt O'Rourke. CK and Matt began rehearsing with the band in the weeks leading up to entering the world’s largest residential recording studio, Sonic Ranch. With producer Stephen Short and engineer Charles Godfrey on board, Blacklite District recorded their 7-track debut album, “This is Where it Ends”, in the summer of 2011.
Following the completion of the album, the band relocated to Los Angeles, and has accomplished a lot in a short period of time. On September 30, the group's first single, "I'm Stil Right Here", debuted at Active Rock Radio in 5 states in the Midwest on X-ROCK 101.1 (KDDX), where it eventually hit the Top 20. On October 28, BLD debuted live at the World Famous Whisky A Go-Go on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood, CA. On 11-11-11, "This is Where it Ends" went on sale to digital retailers and has so far gotten rave reviews.
With a debut album out worldwide, a hit single at radio, and up-coming tour dates, it’s sure to say that this band strives for success. “We look forward to touring and getting our music out there,” says singer Roman James. “We know people are going to dig what they hear, especially if they’re tired of all the generic sounding music being released in todays 'sub-par' music industry.” Blacklite District combines heaviness with catchiness and has a distinct sound that separates them from other bands.
In early 2012, the band began a monumental promotion campaign in support of "This is Where it Ends", which will continue through out the year. The band's second single, "Left Behind", will be released to radio in new markets.
In the fall of 2012, BLD relocated from Hollywood, CA to Orlando, FL after signing a new management deal with famed Creed and Paramore manager Jeff Hanson, and will release a new album in late 2012 on Silent Majority Group/Warner Music Group.

You should wait and see
Cause you never know
Where you’re gonna be
You should take it slow
Let’s not jump ahead
You could watch it grow
Instead of wishing dead
Wishing, wishing dead
Wishing, wishing dead
I’m all about the darkness
Look at me I’m heartless
I can’t find the right state of mind
State of mind
The vibe is very scary
Everything is heavy
I can’t find the right state of mind State of mind
I can’t do it by myself
I know

The lyrics of Blacklite District's song "Wishing Dead" seem to be about letting go of negativity and being patient for things to work out. The chorus advises not to wish bad things upon someone or something, but instead, wait and see how things will turn out. The verses speak about being lost in a dark and heavy state of mind, needing others' help but not wanting to burden them with their problems.
The line "I’m all about the darkness, Look at me I’m heartless" suggests that the singer is struggling with their emotions and may come off as uncaring or unfeeling. The repetition of "state of mind" could be a reference to one's mental health and the importance of taking care of it. The line "Don’t come back around here, It gets dangerous down here" gives a sense of warning to those who may be dealing with similar feelings.
Overall, the song seems to convey a message of resilience and the importance of staying positive even in difficult times. It encourages the listener to not give up and to have patience for things to work out, rather than focusing on negativity and wishing for negative outcomes.
