The Red Lite District deliver a brutal new single with "You Were Never In Love"

With a poignant gut punch of raw power and melodic grit, The Red Lite District comes crashing back onto the scene with their relentless new single, "You Were Never In Love." The Glasgow four-piece barely waits under your skin, and they seem to relish every second of it.

Lifted off the forthcoming six-track E.P., "Life Won't Wait," due by October 21st via Sodeh Records, a high-powered dive into the murkier depths of romantic disappointment. It is an unsheathed exorcism, unrepentant, unrelenting, and ferociously alive. Think the sneer of the Stooges meets the serrated edge of Nirvana, and you're halfway there.

The Red Lite District has always walked the line between chaos and craft, and "You Were Never In Love" may be their most electric tightrope to date. The drums thunder like a rallying war cry, guitars spit and snarl with defiant, stand-your-ground energy, and the raw, wounded, defiant vocals deliver each line like a scorched-earth confession.

Beneath all the noise and venom lies something vulnerable and almost cinematic in its intensity. It's a cold, bitter flame of a track that burns desperately and pleads to be read.

On "You Were Never In Love," The Red Lite District weaponizes punk. It's brash and ugly, heartbreak with a bloody grin. And in truth, it's also precisely what the genre needed. If this is any indication, the full-length would make a crater.
