The Light On

Vinyl LP pressing. 2013 EP from this Alt-Rock band led by Adam Moult. Adam is 15 years old, and the instructors at the boarding school, where he's been sent are forcing him to do this in order to 'teach him a lesson.' This is the origin of Bad Cop, the group Moult founded as an escape from the horror show of his teenage day-to-day at the grim Hidden Lake Academy. 'The teachers at the school realized that one of the things that pacified me was letting me have a guitar for a couple of hours a day,' he explains. 'So that's where I started writing some of our first songs.' a new confidence illuminates the Light on EP. Produced by Cage the Elephant's Brad Shultz, it's a bright, vibrating effort full of high-wattage guitars and jittery rhythms and, beneath it all, that palpable sense of anarchy.
