RED were a short lived UK band formed in 1976 in Solihull, West Midlands.
The five piece group played in an intriguing style which, whilst hard edged, was also laced with clever progressive flourishes.
Imagine RUSH at their hardest, but without the irritating helium castrato vocals.
The band released just one record, the highly collectable independent three song "Red EP".
The record was released by The Electric Record Company in 1977 in a colour picture sleeve.
Now prized by fans of both the NWOBHM and Prog Rock genres, you can expect to pay around £50 for one of these if you can track a copy down.
1978 sadly saw the band fold, and unfortunately i can find no information about the members post-Red musical activities.
Some of the information floating around the 'net suggests that Red's Lead Guitarist Paul Newton was the Bassist on URIAH HEEP's first three albums.
I'm pretty sure this is not the same Paul Newton however.
If you have any further information about this tragically overlooked and extremely talented band, please share it with us.
