Melbourne outfit RED INK have made a true rock star entrance on thelocal music scene, already having played shows alongside Biffy Clyro (US), Miami Horror and British India (to name a few). They’ve been climbing radio airwaves and tearing roofs from the rafters of venues around the country. Their loud hook-laden rock is hard to ignore.
Singles 'Audrey', ‘Catching a Killer’ - a track mixed by Barney Barnicott (Kasabian, Muse, Lily Allen, Arctic Monkeys) – and 'Battlescars' have each received heavy national airplay and media acclaim (“Acts like Red Ink remind me why Australian independent music is the best in the world.†The AU Review).
A year of constant touring in 2010 has cemented RED INK as ‘the one to watch’. With a killer live show, “watch†is the operative word. RED INK have won over tastemaker crowds at hyped guerrilla performances and festivals including Peats Ridge, Stereosonic, Playground Weekender and Hot BBQ. And word is spreading fast. Love has been rolling in from fans across Eastern Europe, UK and the United States.
The latest single, ‘What My Friends Say’ captures the infectious energy of the band onstage and delivers a maturity and depth in song writing. The lyrics weave a tale of heartache and confusion. Already a hit amongst RED INK’s live audiences, ‘What My Friends Say’ is destined to explode out of radio speakers.
RED INK will spend most of 2011 out on the road, playing headline shows and festivals around the country. They also join the national Rock The Schools tour throughout June and July. Check out www.schoolstouraustralia.com.au for details.
Stay tuned for a stellar debut record later this year through Shock. It will be hard to miss!
