Different Light was formed in Malta at the end of 1994 by Trevor Tabone, Mark Agius Cesareo, Richie Rizzo and Trevor Catania. Loads of gigs were played throughout 1995 and an early version of 'In the Grey' was recorded for a compilation album.

All About Yourself, the band's first album, was recorded in April 1996 and released in June of the same year. The band spent the rest of the year touring Malta to promote the album.

Mark Agius Cesareo left the band in early 1997 and was replaced by Jeremy DeMaria.

IIn the summer of 1999, Different Light split up and so ended the first chapter.... Fast forward to 2008, Trevor Tabone decides to reform the band in Prague, CZ together with Hynek Kocourek and Petr Lux. With the help of Daniel Charron and Premek Matejovic, an album entitled Icons that Weep was released.  Subsequent albums, The Burden of Paradise (2016) and Binary Sunds (2019) have been released
