Album Notes

MORRISSEY COLLABORATOR AND GUITARIST ALAIN WHYTE COMPLETES FULL-LENGTH RELEASE PRECEDED BY THIS LIMITED EDITION EP "L.A. CRASHLANDING" FROM NEW PROJECT RED LIGHTNING

Morrissey co-writer, collaborator and guitarist Alain Whyte has completed a debut full-length release by his new project Red Lightning. (http://www.redlightningmusic.com).

Based in London, UK and Los Angeles, USA, Red Lightning is a power trio featuring Alain Whyte (Guitar), John DiMambro (Bass), and Milo Todesco (Drums). Having kept their live performances to a minumum while focusing on their forthcoming release, Red Lightning have just completed a successful tour across 5 states.

"Red Lightning came about simply because I wanted to write and record my own songs in a more stripped down fashion as a three piece", said Alain Whyte, guitarist and songwriter of Red Lightning. "Working with someone as talented as Morrissey for 15 years is something I wouldn't trade for the world. Having co-written albums from Your Arsenal to Morrissey's upcoming release "Ringleader Of The Tormentors" has been a rewarding experience that cannot be put into words. While I am not giving that up, I am very focused on Red Lightning and am trying to create something new from Scratch".

This Limited Edition EP and the full length Album to follow is produced by Dave Newton (Mighty Lemon Drops, The Blood Arm, & The Blue Aeroplanes) and is the latest recorded music from Alain Whyte outside of Morrissey.

The band draws it's musical inspiration from bands such as Echo & The Bunnymen,U2, The Clash, The Cult, The Smiths and, of course Morrissey.
