“Too smart...their heads spin with ideas. Truly fab and ready for mass attention” - John Robb, Louder Than War

"Genius Lyrics and great vocal delivery. Thank God there are still bands telling it like it is" - Tom Robinson BBC6music

“raw and subversive...takes no prisoners”  - The Vinyl District

“superb journey of conundrum” - Tim Whale, Emerging Indie Bands

"tons of attitude and a DIY ethic embedded in their bones" - Artrocker

"Don’t forget your dancing feet as the scintillating reference points of ska, rock-a-billy and Morricone will sweep you on to the dance-floor." - Tim Whale, Emerging Indie Bands

"Just waiting for Quentin Tarantino to snap them up for one of his soundtracks" - Nick Tann, Is This Thing On?

"Marvellous little jocular but oft times intense garage combo wherein The Cramps, The Fall and The Minutemen get given a  wonky pop makeover to much effect."

"White Ape are causing a stir with the likes of Steve Lamacq – and it ain't stir crazeee. Their splice-the-mainbrace nautical approach to punk rocknroll has some swish rancid post punk elements, some Cave-ish quarters, a singer who sounds like Sean Ryder on a punky tip and the occasional foray into drrty cod reggae. But now rejigged with a little beat group classiness and some hot and frenzied songcraft, White Ape have really embraced their inner Sky Saxons..." - Bugbear Promotions

“Deranged twisted psych punk.... sounds like a bunch of tanked-up tarantulas dressed in dinner jackets tip-toeing down a dark alleyway. Welcome to the cult world of white ape...”  -  FEED YOUR HEAD

Let There Be Light is an alternative rock band from Buckinghamshire, UK, lead by guitarist 
and songwriter Damian Carruthers. Described by Songeist.com as an 'uplifting blend of 
traditional rock and strident acoustic song-writing', Charley Simmonds on vocals and Rik 
Cunningham on guitar complete the trio. Looking for inspiration further afield than their 
immediate musical contemporaries, LTBL are as influenced by their passion for sci-fi 
movies and culture as they are the abrasive anthems of Deaf Havana and the upbeat US 
folk-punk of Yellowcard. With their ongoing mission to combine music with art, Let There 
Be Light is a fresh ray of sunshine through the familiar window of British rock.

Let There Be Light released their latest single and video 'Heaven', featuring the vocal 
talents of David Pickup, in September 2014. Introduced by Stephen Jenner of Sky High 
Radio as 'The best song from an unsigned artist I have heard in years', the track was 
produced by James Routh (Sonic Boom Six) at Regal House Studios (Dead Havana). 

After 'Heaven' garnered nationwide radio play – and even attention as far as the US - Let 
There Be Light supported the single with a full UK tour. During the tour, besides his 
chance to bring 'Heaven' to the stages of the UK, Damian suffered the indignity of being 
bitten on a very intimate place by a false widow spider, putting an end to emergency van 
stops in front of bushes on the motorway.

Forming in late 2012, Let There Be Light spent the early days of the band writing their 
début EP, which they recorded over three days in a country farmhouse in Norfolk with 
James Routh during mid 2013. The 'In The Shadows' EP sold out instantly upon its limited 
edition release; copies snapped up by the small, but passionate, local following Let There 
Be Light had built through their rousing live shows at venues such as The Dublin Castle, 
The Crauford Arms and a sold-out hometown show at Wycombe Town Hall. The band 
promoted 'In The Shadows' on a UK Tour opening for reggae fusiliers XOVA through late 
2013.

Grab a slice of 'Heaven' on iTunes and watch the bittersweet promo video on YouTube
now, dedicated to all those whose lives have been touched by cancer. All proceeds from 
the single will be donated to the Macmillan Cancer Trust. For the rest of 2014, true to their 
ethos of combining music with art, the band will be working with cancer-survivor and 
painter Joanne Herbert to offer a musical backdrop to her short story chronicling the 
journey from her diagnosis of the earth-shattering disease to the triumphant all clear.
