Just when I was wondering where all the hot new guitar bands were hiding this year, right on cue up popped Red Light Company. They've already started building a buzz on the blogosphere and Q Online have favourably compared them to Arcade Fire. I couldn't quite see the comparison initially but with closer inspection they do have a similarly grand sound and the same kind of passionate joyfulness as the Canadian wonders, all topped with the spikiness and angsty edges more closely associated with bands of Suede's ilk. Recently signed to Lavolta (an imprint of SonyBMG's Columbia, methinks), they'll be releasing the single 'With Lights' on 26 May and having already supported the likes of Editors are now on their own headline tour. Definitely a band to watch out for this year, head to the link below to see exactly what we're fussing about.
