THE LIGHT SHOW – British Guitar Rock Indies Riff Hard On New Steamrolling Single ‘CODENAME E.M.M.A.’
Daily electricity to load your batteries
10 August 2026
Band: THE LIGHT SHOW
Who: High-voltage four-piece indie-punk band from Yorkshire,
combining driving guitar riffs, infectious hooks, and an explosive
live presence.
Track: CODENAME E.M.M.A.
“The song is about trying to escape from a chaotic relationship after it ends. The frenetic and brash nature of the tune comes from the frenetic nature of the relationship and of the brash and chaotic attitude of the title character. We wanted the music and lyrics to come together and create a mood for the song that matches the subject.
TUTV: Riff-roasting guitar indie rock at its cutting best. The Light Show don’t waste time, they dive into this sassy steamroller from the get-go with tons of knife-edged zip. Punk legends Ramones could turn you upside down with under 2-minute punches. That seems these British hound dogs’ mission too. And they succeed with all amps up and all cylinders on. Expect high-voltage electricity.
Have a go.
