about

I never wanted to be anything other than a guitar player, without a band and, I supposed, zero prospect of finding one, I had to write the lyrics, sing, play the bass and do my best on the drums too. The way things worked out, Black and Red is one person trying to deliver the sound of a functioning band. There was no midi, click tracks, drum loops or sequencing - everything started with a strummed guitar and was built up from there, slowing down, speeding up and all the rest.

When I started playing in bands at the start of the nineties, getting a chance to borrow a 4 track recorder was a remarkable event, let alone getting into a proper recording studio. Eventually I could afford the cheapest Tascam 4 track available. Over the next five years I would record a full C90 of tracks every few months, banging out what eventually amounted to hundreds of songs. With the turn of the millennium, affordable computers came along and for another five years I recorded old and new material on a PC. After that I had a boutique record label for a while, but not this type of thing. As online music has evolved I got to thinking it that perhaps there was something more to do with my songs…and here it is. I’m not very good at band names, so I looked no further than the notebook…

about

Black and Red Nottingham, UK

You couldn't hope to find a more off the radar guitar player. No vibe, no profile, no exposure, stuck in a nowhere town with no hope. The music is all there is. Exciting alternative guitar heavy songs with no ego. Creating home-made music for years, on the outside, looking in with a cynical eye. Black and Red is a true one-man band. ... more
