With their album Frayed just out, Red Light Acid Test ‘Relapse’ with their new single too.
Explaining the premise behind the single, they said: “Addiction can take many faces. ‘Relapse’ is about the erosion of trust and how difficult it is to change behaviour. The more times you apologise and say you’ll change, the less weight those words hold.”
The London-based band, featuring Laurence McCron (vocals, guitar), Oli Suchanek (guitar), Nick Emery (bass) and Tom Eustace (drums, Berocca shaker), first got together in 2019, intent on creating hard, alternative rock music that was distinctively warped from the mainstream.
They have since played in bars and clubs across South East England and at festivals such as Hard Rock Hell, Hoxton Festival and Camden Rocks. They also began releasing singles a year after forming.
Before ‘Relapse’ they brought out ‘Little Death’, describing it as “A pitch-black song for all romantics. Built around a heavily fuzzed staccato guitar rhythm, weighty low end groove and seductive crooned vocals.
“The lyrics explore the themes of attraction, desire and lust, and the thin line between. The song implies that ‘sex is a big deal, no big thing’ at the same time. Where there is consent and desire, it shouldn’t be scorned; where there isn’t, it costs the victim.”
Both singles are available digitally, and you can check out the videos for them here at RAMzine. Frayed was recorded by Mercury Prize nominated producer Ian Davenport.
