Lit is a pop punk band, based in Orange County, California. The band was formed in 1990 as a metal-oriented band, under the name "Razzle", and gained a large following. A few years later, the group changed its name to "Stain", but due to another band owning the name, it changed its name to "Lit" in 1996. The group shot to stardom with the platinum album A Place in the Sun in 1999. A Place In The Sun yielded the smash single "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. It was followed by "Zip-Lock" and "Miserable", the latter of which was among the top ten most played songs of 2000 and famously featured Pamela Anderson in the video. The band 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.

Lit followed up A Place in the Sun with the 2001 release of Atomic which gave the band another Top 10 hit with "Lipstick And Bruises", but the album wasn't as successful as "A Place In The Sun." Lit toured to support Atomic with Kid Rock, and Butch Walker. The group left RCA records in 2003 and went on a small, intimate club tour that Fall before releasing the self-titled Lit on the DRT Entertainment label on June 24, 2004. The single "Looks Like They Were Right" made it on the top 40 charts but the album was again largely unsuccessful due to lack of promotion on the label's behalf. That year the group also put out its first long-form DVD called "All Access" on November 16, 2004. In March 2006, the band opened up its own restaurant/bar called "The Slidebar" in Fullerton, California. The band is currently writing and recording for their sixth CD.

Guitarist Jeremy Popoff's signature Fender guitar was featured in Fenders' 2005 guitar calendar.

    Lit in the news

    Readers of literary blog LitKicks name more than 50 candidates for the greatest American book, including "Huckleberry Finn", "On The Road", "Walden", "The Grapes of Wrath". Levi Asher explains his choice of "Walden", Henry David Thoreau's memoir of two years in a cabin, citing its artistry, audacity and influence on Gandhi and Martin Luther King.

    A man is behind bars in Pasco County Florida after deputies say he and another man lit a firework inside a fireworks tent and set the whole structure on fire.

    How do You Define Patriotism? If you’ve seen Mel Gibson’s film, “The Patriot,” you know that his child wasn’t sitting on his lap enjoying the “rockets red glare.” Instead, he was going to fight. We don’t think about fighting a war in suburbia, well here in Victorville anyway, because we live behind well-fostered illusions of safety
