With Lights Out EP - A Side
Red Light Company - A Great New Band.
I first heard them in March when I went to see Editors play at Plymouth Pavilions. Red Light Company were the first support act of the night and we wandered in just after they started. I spent the next 20 minutes or so in a trance watching this band I'd never heard of nearly outdo the main act (not that Editors weren't good cos they were).
Influences (as far as I can tell) range from Arcade Fire to Placebo to U2, and I have read articles comparing their sound to that of Sisters of Mercy, though I couldn't comment on that cos I've never heard the band.
Anyways, this is my favourite band at the moment and they've just released their first single, With Lights Out, on CD and 7" vinyl formats, available to download at all good downloady places with the physical release on May 26th.
I want to do my bit to spread the good word about this awesome band, unfortunately the best idea I could come up with was taking photos of my copy on 7" vinyl and posting the best shots . . . they ain't great but hey! any advertising is good advertising!
You can see more Flickr Red Light Company photographs here and from a quick glance through I saw some cool shots. Their MySpace page is here - check it out as there are 5 songs you can stream including the new single With Lights Out.
There should be a new single later in the year, around July I think, with an album to follow in the Autumn.
If you like your music melodic, widescreen and melancholic I'm sure you'd love this band.
