Lit is a post-grunge band based in Orange County, California which was formed in 1990. The group shot to stardom with the platinum album A Place In The Sun in 1999. Sun yielded the smash singles "My Own Worst Enemy," which held the number one position for three months, and received a Billboard Music Award for the biggest Modern Rock Song of 1999; "Ziplock"; and "Miserable", which was among the top ten most played songs of 2000 and featured Pamela Anderson in the video. They performed over 286 shows and toured worldwide in support of "A Place in the Sun." In addition to the Vans Warped Tour and a coveted slot on Woodstock 1999, the band toured with The Offspring, Garbage and No Doubt.
They followed up A Place In The Sun with the 2001 release of Atomic which gave the band another Top 10 hit with "Lipstick & Bruises." Lit toured to support "Atomic" with Kid Rock, and Butch Walker. They left RCA records in 2003 and released the self-titled "Lit" on June 24, 2004. That year they also put out their first long-form DVD called "All Access" on November 16, 2004. According to some rumors, they should be releasing a new album sometime in 2006.
