Left Hand Red

Left Hand Red are a Brighton-based, indie-rock quartet formed in the summer of 2005. After spending two years building a strong collection of songs, 2008 saw the release of their third demo E.P., ‘Transition’. With the help of Brighton cohort Ali Gavan, who had previously worked and played with Electric Soft Parade amongst others, the band laid down the E.P. and the result was a top-drawer studio recording which retained the menacing rawness of their live performance. The E.P. gained positive reviews and helped Left Hand Red to gain slots at The Beachdown and Brighton Live festivals as well as playing a string of other successful shows around the south of England.

The band is in the ascendancy and 2009 has seen the release of their new demo E.P. ‘Rope Burn’. The three new tracks, 'Rope Burn', 'Eagle Road' and 'Make A Killing' went down a storm when previewed at recent gigs, including Club NME Brighton and confirm the band’s consistent song-writing abilities show no signs of slowing up.

With word spreading, fan-base growing by the day and plans afoot for the band's debut album (due for independent release late 2010), the future's bright, the future's Red...

“Left Hand Red are highly watchable diamonds in a straight-up rock genre littered with bores. Their recent ‘Transition’ E.P. is well worth investigating” - Ben Miller, Critic, The Argus

”’Transition’, a raucous, lively and generally spiffing E.P.”- Latest Seven

“These sweet pop-rock hooks taste like everything from Oasis to QOTSA and smell like the good times you can only get with a good old rock out.” – Brighton Source Magazine

"Left Hand Red’s Voyeur EP sees the quartet tear through just 10 minutes of punchy riff-led rock. Dan Scully’s four-piece don’t waste time - this is raw good times music made for dancing. Brighton Source Magazine says 'These sweet pop-rock hooks taste like everything from Oasis to QOTSA', the latter comparison is the most apt, but the LHR’s pop appeal sets them apart from the usual heavy rocker suspects." - Rockfeedback.com (read less)
