Straylight Run is a piano-rock band based in Long Island, NY and is currently signed to Victory Records.

Straylight Run was formed in May 2003 and consists of John Nolan, Michelle Nolan (John's sister), Shaun Cooper, and Will Noon (of Breaking Pangaea). Both John Nolan and Cooper were part of Taking Back Sunday until early 2003, where Nolan was the second vocalist and played guitar while Cooper was the bassist. While still in TBS, Nolan wrote several songs that he didn't feel would go well with the band. After their departure, John and Shaun recorded several demos with Taking Back Sunday drummer Mark O'Connell. The band began to take its present form when drummer Will Noon was invited to join after his former band, Breaking Pangaea, broke up. Soon after, John's sister Michelle joined Straylight Run.
