Red Light Acid Test are set to release their new single ‘Relapse‘ on 5th November, taken from the new album ‘Frayed’, out 29th October.
“Addiction can take many faces. Relapse is about the erosion of trust and how difficult it is to change behaviour. The more times you apologise and say you’ll change, the less weight those words hold.”
“You might climb out,
Wash yourself clean,
But the stains still show”
Red Light Acid Test came together in London 2019 to create hard, alternative rock music that is distinctively warped from the mainstream. Their choppy rhythms, staggered guitars and dark, melodic vocals make for an intense listening experience.
The 4 piece are known for their energetic and pulling-no-punches live shows, having played in bars and clubs across South East England incl. Hard Rock Hell, Hoxton Festival, Camden Rocks etc.
Red Light Acid Test have been compared to Queens of the Stone Age, Killing Joke, Mark Lanegan, Idles, Helmet, Sonic Youth, Muse, all the while keeping at the forefront their own unique sound.
They have released singles since 2020, all receiving wide acclaim and plays on radio stations across the UK and Ireland, incl. BBC Introducing, Kerrang, Total Rock, Scotland Rocks, MMH and many more.
Their debut album ‘Frayed‘ will be released on 29th October 2026 and they will release a series of singles across the year, leading up to the album. Red Light Acid Test continue to build a reputation as one of the most exciting bands in alternative rock, definitely ones to watch in the coming years.
Recorded by Ian Davenport the Mercury Prize nominated producer (Gaz Coombes, Slowdive, Band of Skulls).

Jammerzine: “LITTLE DEATH’ arrives with its teeth already sharpened, throwing choppy rhythms, staggered guitars and dark melodic vocals into the blender and somehow coming out sounding considerably more coherent than your average band attempting to be weird for the sake of being weird.“
Soaplife Magazine: SKIN ON SKIN” is dark, provocative and deliberately uncomfortable.
Get Some Magazine: SKIN ON SKIN” is bluesy, dirty, ridiculously catchy, and just sleazy enough to make you want to turn it up a little louder than you probably should. “SKIN ON SKIN” is masterful grunge rock.
Keep It Rock: STOOGE had a bit of everything and a lot of what we look for – grunginess, hard rock, gothic vibes and a sprinkling of punk in there.
