Red Light Company released their debut EP With Lights Out in May and had Zane Lowe from Radio One declaring RLC to be “a band everyone’s shouting about, so so good” in fact he liked them so much that he has booked them for a session to broadcast on Wednesday 13th August. Jo Whiley also raved “a song that’s heads and shoulders above everything else, grabs your attention straight away… love it.” With Lights Out was also Rebel playlist winner on Steve Lamacq’s 6 Music Show and sold-out within days of going on sale, making it an instant collectors item.
Vocalist and guitarist Richard says of Meccano “It‘s based around an imaginary conversation between two old friends and the distance growing between them as their lives go on. It’s about the regret of a passing friendship”.
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.
"Red Light Company storm into contention with an Arcade Fire-like blast of intense emotion."
