Gloriously out-of-step and isolated from many of their contemporaries,
Screaming Lights are very much a product of their home-town. Steeped in that
time-honoured Scouse tradition of forward-thinking, bloody-minded
psychedelia, 'Like Angels' shares a fair bit with the likes of fellow Mersey
pop-pranksters such as The Teardrops or The Bunnymen.
Very adventurous yet still anchored in that classic Liverpudlian
song-writing tradition, the 11-tracks of the album sound far more
accomplished then one would expect on a debut album from band just out of
school. A truly innovative and exciting debut.
Screaming Lights are: Alan Breen (bass), James Connor (drums), Max Goldberg
(guitar) & James Treadell (vocals / guitar).
