The Lightning Kids is a UK-based band formed virtually between singer-songwriter Emma Ballantine, guitarist/producer Darryn McHardie (aka Cinematix 1993) and songwriter/producer Jonny Spalding. With a first album released last November and a few months active as a band, they are already described as ‘the Retrowave London Grammar’. The Lightning Kids have strong Synthwave roots mixed with nods to great Californian records by The Eagles and Fleetwood Mac, with British Influences including The 1975 & Pet Shop Boys.
Taken from their debut album of the same name, 'All Of Those Nights - Santa Monica Mix' is a brand newly recorded and extended version of the album title track and features new vocals, guitars and arrangement. Their sound is heavily influenced by 1980s California and the endless summer nights riding in fast cars, dancing at amusement parks and lying underneath the stars. The album tells the story of two star-crossed teenagers and their experiences of Love, loss, heartbreak and growing up.
