Richer Unsigned –
London’s Red Light Acid Test are a powerful four-piece that began showing up on the city’s stages and backroom bars in 2019, with a pummelling, gritty brand of dark alternative rock. While the heavy, angular riffs and big drums are the immediate pulls, the band does a fantastic job creating frenetic, anxious tension in both the music and lyrics that really hold you as a listener. There’s this underlying low-slung groove, equal parts Kyuss and post-punk, that permeates RLATs sound acting a counterbalance to the distorted heft. If you like your rock dark, heavy and moody, Red Light Acid Test is one you’ll definitely wanna watch!
Civil War -
Next up at last Friday’s SOLD OUT show at the Hope and Anchor were Red Light Acid Test - back for their second show with Civil War.
There’s so much to say - so I’ll start here: these lads are on the rise, they have all of the necessary ingredients to make big waves. Their set balanced tension and power, joy and melancholy, which often gives way to powerful and uplifting choruses - intricate & powerful drum rhythms, Soundgarden style guitar layering, tension build ups and releases, rousing choruses with complex underlying guitar motifs, cowbell (?!), eerie vocals and esoteric philosophical lyrics, searing overdriven guitar solos. Fill your boots! Eat! Eat! Enjoy! This is the sound of a band in full flight.
I would suggest that it’s time to hit the road and spread the word beyond London. Rise and rise my friends.
