Screaming Lights

Screaming Lights were a band from Liverpool, England comprised of Alan Breen (bass), James Connor (drums), Max Goldberg (lead guitar, synth) and James Treadell (vocals, guitar, synth, piano, lyrics). The band existed in various guises since 2005, playing local gigs around Liverpool. The band eventually courted management interest and released their debut single, GMN/ Glow. Following the single, the band completed several tours, including a support slot with the Mystery Jets and an appearance at the Reading and Leeds festival. Their debut album, Like Angels, was released on 5 October 2009 and was preceded by the single Hello Tomorrow. Shortly after the album release, the band announced on their website that they had split, stating: "Basically, we have been offered no way of moving forward as recording artists and, because of this, have decided that it’s probably better that we disband than blindly continue pursuing a project that has clearly hit a brick wall both creatively and commercially. I am not sure what any of us are planning to do in the future, as individuals we may do nothing, or everything, I simply cannot say. Regardless of this we would all like to thank everybody involved in the development of the band, people who came to the shows, people who listened to the record, read this blog and done anything else that has contributed positively to our cause over the past two years. We seriously cannot thank you enough." Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
