Flood Of Red release music video and single ‘Home Run (1997)’ on 5th October ahead of their debut album ‘Leaving Everything Behind.’ Their album will be available via digital download on their own label ‘Dark City’ on 19th October.
The band comprises Jordan Spiers – vocals, Sean McGroarty – guitar, Calum Doris – guitar & backing vocals, Jamie McGowan – bass guitar, Dale Gallacher – keyboards and Graham Griffith – drums.
Formed in Airdrie, east of Glasgow in 2004 they started out as a trio who met at school and on the local skate scene, and expanded to a sextet. The band toured months after forming, all aged just 17, playing for £20 and cheese sandwiches.
Flood Of Red flew to Baltimore, Maryland in January where they spent a month recording their debut album with punk rock extraordinaire producer Brian McTernan (Cave In, Thrice, Converge) in his Salad Days studio.
