Lights Action
It’s been a long time coming, but London five piece Lights Action have hit the ground running with debut album ‘New Cold World‘. After winning funding from Slice The Pie, the band holed up in Yearle Mill in Northumberland to start writing, returning to London to record and mix. ‘Battle of Lovers‘ is our first taster of their debut, and if it’s anything to go by, it’s certainly been worth the wait.
Combining uptempo guitars with rock sensibilities and an unnervingly catchy chorus, ‘Battle of Lovers‘ is a radio friendly attack from a band that have shown that hard work and determination can really pay off. Front man Patrick Currier has a wistful resonance to his vocals, backed up by a powerful and infectious melody and pulsating bass line that’ll have your toes-a-tapping within moments. Lights Action have captured a sound that neatly straddles the line between rock and pop, without caving into either, producing a great introduction to their new album.
With festival appearances at Download, T in The Park and Leeds under the belt, this is a young band hungry for success, and armed with ‘New Cold World‘ 2009 could be the year for them. The album is released on 16th February, but you can swipe a free download of ‘Battle of Lovers’ on 18th February for one day only at www.newcoldworld.com – turn it up loud and enjoy!
