Red Scare Band Bio;
These three Irish lads originally come from around Coleraine, Derry in the North of Ireland but they moved to Newcastle, England to get shitty jobs and form a band and then hated it and moved home again. The jobs did indeed turn out to be shitty, but the band turned out great! The youngsters hammered away at the songs and their rowdy music quickly drew friends and fans to the party. They sold out their first hometown show and figured it was time for their first proper release, and that's when Red Scare got involved. Singer Adam has been a Red Scare comrade since he was a wee sprog (that's Irish for young kid) and the first listen had them sold on the songs. "Ride The Storm" is 10 tracks of rock-influenced punk that remind us of bands like Alkaline Trio, The Flatliners, and Millencolin. There's Gaelic folklore, drinking songs, and nautical themes throughout their debut album.
Extensive touring followed through UK, Europe and America including multiple appearances at Booze Cruise Festival, The Fest and Ubenuse festival.
Having released The Erin Rose EP and a cover of Irish favourite ‘Tell Me Ma’ Good Friend are hitting the studio in 2024 for their second album which if it is anything like the bands live performances promises to be explosive and a the mic songs you can blow off steam to.
