Artist description AFTER barely a year together, Yorkshire-based alternative rock outfit Red:Shift have notched up more gigs than they can remember, nearly been wiped out in a car crash (memo to self, get famous before getting dead), supported everyone from much-tipped new Beggars' Banquet signings Biffy Clyro, to crusty punk legends New Model Army, to UK hardcore heroes Tribute To Nothing, and are currently spreading the word with gigs around the UK. They have also headlined major events at York University and the York Barbican Centre. The band also found time to set up and run Northern gig-swapping website www.gizagig.com - and one of them is nearly a Doctor of Anarchy (fact). The band are Matt Fraser (vocals/guitar), David Martin (guitars), Sam Clark (bass) and Wayne Miller (drums). Collectively, they own more records than anyone in the world ever, and take inspiration from everything from metal to dub reggae, but according to what people keep telling them, sound closest to the post-punk sounds of Joy Division/New Order, American punk/alternative heroes such as Fugazi and post-rock melodic/noisy stuff such as Mogwai. Oh yes, and they rock, big time.
