Discovered this new band today, and instantly liked them! Imagine Arcade Fire mixed with a bit of the Killers, Snow Patrol & Cast! They are currently supporting The Editors and are now getting a bit of air time, and i think they have a BIG future! Its a big sound, anthemic tunes and good lyrics. check em out at www.myspace.com/redlightcompany - there's a good selection of tunes to listen to, i particularly like the debut single entitled With Lights Out: what'ya reckon? |

Band Blurb:Red Light Company were formed in 2007. Richard Frenneaux (vocals/guitar) was born in England and spent his formative years in Australia and New Zealand. Shawn Day (bass) is from Wyoming, the least populated state in America, but was born in Osaka, Japan. James Griffiths (drums) is from Bridgend in Wales, Paul Mellon (guitar) is from Motherwell in Scotland and Chris Edmonds (keyboards) is from Maidenhead. Richard and Shawn met on the Internet after Shawn saw an advert posted by Rich. It was Tuesday afternoon, the band had a gig in London on the Friday, Shawn heard future single Scheme Eugene and emailed Richard “I want to play my bass in London. I don't f*ck around.” Richard replied immediately and Shawn made immediate preparations to fly to London. Upon arrival, Shawn was unable to provide proof of sufficient funds for his intended length of stay in the UK and was detained for six hours at Gatwick. The immigration officer finally agreed for the band to meet with Shawn, specifying he catch the first flight back to America the following morning. Shawn adds “We all jumped into the van and had an unplugged audition and then onto the pub where Richard and I both agreed there would be no guitar solos. The next day I flew back to America. A long month passed in Wyoming, I sold everything I owned before my visa was finally approved and I returned to the U.K for round two.”  ;D The debut single With Lights Out, Download EP available from April 28. CD & 7" available from May 26. Released on LaVolta records. Vocalist and guitarist Richard says of With Lights Out “I had a childhood friend who committed suicide, he folded his clothes up neatly by the side of a lake, overdosed on sleeping pills, then just walked in. The song is based around a letter you would write, if you could still communicate with them, covering the denial as well as acceptance of their departure and loss. The little toy soldier line is a reminder of youth, and the fact that we were still so young.” Red Light Company release a new single in July followed by their debut album in the autumn.
