oh my god this is real good. I can't wait to see them live. Smashing Pumkins suck...Ati Rocks!!

well, from what i've heard so far, it's great stuff! i really like the sound of 'i miss you'- wish they'd have played the whole song on the site. such a tease! any idea if the proposed tour is for the u.k or the u.s?

Is Morrissey in this band? Why should we care?

Aug.02.05: RED LIGHTNING's tour of the West Coast US has been postponed until December 2005 due to Alain Whyte being called to Rome to record and collaborate on Morrissey's new album over the next few months. In the meantime, Libertalia will continue to consider offers both new and current for this tour.

Awesome sound! very Moz like but tacky website.

Hello Everyone
The web page is still a work in progress. Please excuse run-on sentences and spelling errors. We weren't ready to release it to the public yet but Oh Well. Our full Length album will be available through the Web-site soon. Look for tour dates in Winter. West Coast into Pacific Northwest and Vancouver BC.
Whyte Girl you're naughty and we love you:)
See ya at the shows:)
LOL to everyone

Morrissey/Smiths mentions all over the bio section, a couple of Morrissey photos in the photos section...those things aren't happening without Morrissey's approval...

So where did Alain go?

My personal guess: anxiety attacks leading to stage fright. It happens to performers--even performers who've been on stage for years--all the time...

Red Lightning is his way to ease back into performing...

(I hope the above written bullshit turns out to be true!)

its actually really good I think, not very un Morrissey like. Alain sounds very very well and I look forward to the album, Red Lightning and Morrisey's :-)

Nice, but it reminds me, for her voice and style, too much of Garbage though. It seems that there are many bands out there today that are pleasant to listen to, but whose sound cause me that frustrating deja vu. I did like Pioneers, though, because although they don't bring out an entirely new sound, they do sound like themselves.

Morrissey's control and art direction has always been obvious on both Alain and Boz's works. Listening to Alain's personal projects makes it even more blatant.

While the general line is decent with even a few moments of real quality, it always lacks of editing and "preconception". The production is bland, the guitars sound exactly the same on every song and the voice and the melodies are frankly completely forgettable.

Although I never was a big fan of the lad, I've always considered him as a very acceptable guitarist. But he is definitely not a singer. Listen to the falsetto on "Baby Come Back" and run back to Moz, he'll set the pace for the rest of Alain's days...

shame Moz didn't get that one. Great riff. Imagine the melody and words Moz would have tacked onto it.

Pretty good songs, especially the first three. The guitar line in "Crushed" could easily be the backing for a Moz track. "Something Out of Nothing" could be a good little single. Has a bit of an 80s rock vibe, but in a good way.

WhyteGrrrl, you must be so excited with all this Alain news that you're ready to rip off your clothes!

I'm very happy to hear Alain is back in the World of Morrissey, and in Rome no less. Take in all the beautiful art of of the Renaissance and make a classic album, boys!

Did you notice the photo of Alain smoking? I always thought he was a clean-cut, non-0smoker. Not that I really care, but I always find people who start smoking in their mid20s-30s to be very funny...surely you don't still feel the need to fit in then??

The first two bars of 'I Miss You' sound VERY like the intro to EDILS, even the bass line.
Sounds good though, not disimilar to The Healers but more melodic.

The songs previews are simply ugly, one of the worst things i have ever heard in my life, the voice remembers Billy Idol to me. Will be a complete flop.
