More than Red Lights and Plastic

About Me

"Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes."
Luke 12:23

More than Red Lights and Plastic is a band that desires more than anything else to see a change in the music industry. Sick of non-Christian bands who dominate the industry, and Christian bands who are afraid of bringing a controversal message, RLP has set out to do something about it. With songs that implore society to question its morals (Chameleons, Complacency), to songs that quote God's Word verbatum (Lift Your Eyes, Prophecy), they are bringing a message as old as time, yet all their own.

The name itself "More than Red Lights and Plastic" is a statement about what they desire to bring to the table. 'Red Lights' are significant of everything in the world that is fancy. 'Plastic' is significant of everything that is physically useful. As a Christian band with a Christian message, RLP offers a whole lot more than 'red lights' and 'plastic'.
