Sounds Like
"A brilliant wall of sound which gives off the impression of Joy Division but with a harder edge" THIS CITY"Hailing from Sheffield and sounding like The
Music, but significantly better, this is a firmament
defying single of the highest order" NEW NOISE
"Harder stuff than we’ve become accustomed to,
replete with an Editors’ style dark heart and House Of
Love dynamism. A guarded success" THE CRACK
"Epic feedback-laden rock 'n' roll" TIME OUT
"A really fine act who take on an effortless dark pop with nods towards Joy Division, early U2 and The Chameleons….spine tingling stuff for sure, just wait til the ice cool guitar break in ‘Wot would it take' hits ya….seismic" THE LONDON PARTICULAR
"Think a little of cult time Echo & The Bunnymen slapped with early doors U2 and then forget everything and just mellow in the noir swirlyness of it all. A fine debut that'll have the punters creaming for an encore" COMA MAGAZINE
"Confident dynamic indie guitar rock that has a certain snarl to it" ORGAN MAGAZINE
The Black Light Theatre story only began in January this year.
This was the month the four members of Black Light Theatre, reeking of musical experience and urgency, sped into a frenzy of ideas and ambitions and entered a practice room based at a factory in Sheffield. 4 hours later the door re-opened and from the mist appeared the new face of Northern soul.
The following months saw the band spend all their time in that same factory or out on the live circuit. Main support at Camden's Barfly, a now legendary gig supporting The Draytones at The Old Blue Last and a single deal with independent label Hooked Up Records quickly followed.
With fingers literally in every musical pie ever baked in the north, the band are set to release their debut single this October along with delivering pants ripping performances at several big nights in Sheffield, Liverpool, London and Manchester.
When asked what he thought about the band's future, guitarist Rob gave this comment "COME ON!!!!"

I'm a humble void, I go where I please. There's nothing that hangs on me, I haven't got a shoulder to lean. Well, I'm just a humble void. And life seems to work for me, the biggest problem I've got, is where to go from here. And there, from here, to there, to here, from me, to me, to you, for you, thru this. And this don't make any sense. Does it? I'm just a humble void. And you can be one too, don't try harder anymore, leave it all to winds and flows. I'm just a happy void, nice meetin' you all here. Welcome to the place you are, you've been. Other humble voids are joinin' in. There's nothing left to fill. We've filled the tiny holes. We're all humble voids. No need for you to fear. Just give us what we want, and we'll let you leave. Now take a vow and smile. Let everyone think, there's nothing more in life. Oh, but there is. There is. ************************************** Love from Nad.
