Falling Red - Lost Souls

Red vinyl / Cumbrian-based, lifeblood heavy-rockers who deliver exhilarating live music to everyone they meet. Their sleaze meister rock ' roll metal numbers are mostly assembled by Rozey (he's the frontman of the band and their lead guitarist) and Dave (he's the drummer). Dave & Rozey have played in the band since its formation. They establish the songs which become thunderously embellished by the other founder-member (Shane on guitar) and Mikey, who joined the band later, who plays bass. Everybody offers vocals. "When we play live shows we find we need to participate in all the party-time antics, so we offer thrill-rides a-plenty. We supply vibrating sensations, ecstatic tingles and the best rockin' time of your life." Despite their crazy hair, entertaining use of industrial-strength make-up and general randy-dandiness, these Cumbrian dirt-moguls are not posers from the suburbs. No, they're gallant protagonists of an impoverished state, proud of their humble rural condition. As a result, they've found they need to work around the clock to get themselves heard. And, although they are often compared with Mötley Crüe and Guns N' Roses, they insist they are not really a spangly-fangled hairspray act at all, "We're peasant metal, if anything." they suggest. "We play a little country rock, some metal, some sentimental ballads and, of course, lots of the hard rock we are known for! None of it is too abrasive or angle-grinding. Our material's got great guitars, hard-rocking power chords and rejuvenating harmonizations. We like the definition "post-sleaze" because it kinda recognizes that we offer something a bit different.
