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.

An amazing debut for Red Lightning!  If you're a fan of Alain's work with Morrissey, you must definitely get this album.  Some great melodious tracks with the standout being the opener, "Something out of Nothing".  I'm itching to hear more songs plus see them live!

Great Debut Album

Excellent debut album!  RL definetly have a very catchy, easily likeable sound and these guys are all very talented musicians who make good use of their skills.  I hope the next album will have more of a rockabilly flair to it, as this album was more straight up pop.  

Looking forward to more great stuff from Red Lightning

Having already been impressed by Alain Whyte's guitar style and the music he wrote for Morrissey, I was glad to finally find an album of one of his other bands. Since I just knew about Alain Whyte through his collaboration with Morrissey and had never heard about the other Red Lightning-members, I was positively surprised. The EP contains some great melodic but yet powerful rock songs, amazing guitars and a brilliant rhythm section. If possible, I would have given the CD 4.5 stars - the missing 0.5 star for the fact that those great songs L.A. Chrash Landing, I miss you and Black dog day end "too" early - one wishes they would go on for much longer. Can't wait for the band to release their full length album! I am just afraid that it will be difficult to get in Germany and that Red Lightning will stay a well kept secret.
