Red Threat - The Ginger Brothers' Music Coalition

So what news? Well first of all don’t worry, Red Threat haven’t packed it in or grown out if it; work really does continue apace on the second album. They are still recording/mixing/pottering about pretty much every other Sunday and have been doing so since they came off the road in the autumn of ’07. Two or three tracks are mixed and the rest are not too far away from finished. We've been reliably informed that a release for Winterval 2009/10 is a possibility, although a studio upgrade and some extra overdubbing may push the release date a little beyond this.

In other news, Simon's left Red Threat apparently. He says it’s so he can spend more time on Red Threat - sounds bizarre? See the forum for further ramblings from the miserable misanthrope.

Rob will be playing an acoustic set at the Green Room, Devonshire Street on Wednesday 12th September.
See you there, if you can tear yourselves away from the football.

There's loads of new pics up on our mySpace page http://www.myspace.com/redthreatmusic and check out the slideshow at the bottom of the About Red Threat section.

There's a Review of Your Call Is Important To Us in the July edition of Sandman magazine.
I think they get it, cheers chaps.

Bit of a shock for us here at Red Threat HQ but Fopp's called in the administrators and the Sheffield branch is closed. Hope the burden of stocking our album didn't contribute to their demise!

Many thanks to JA and DC and MS for the reviews of Your Call Is Important To Us on sheffieldmusic.com

Not worth the money or extremely well connstrcuted? Let us know what you think about the album by joining
The Red Threat forum and adding your comments.

Nice to see so many people at the album launch on Wednesday, yes it's true Rob did a bit of a live set. Hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did.

The Launch Event for Red Threat's debut album, Your Call Is Important To Us, will be at the Frog and Parrot, Sheffield on Wednesday 14th March 2007.
As Red Threat don't play live, this is about the closest you're going to get. Albums and promo singles will be given away for free and you can buy beer - what more could you want ?
Hope to see you all there.

Your Call Is Important To Us is now available from The Laundrette - Sheffield's online record Shop

Red Threat's album, Your Call Is Important To Us, has finally been released and is available in the shops, well four shops anyway. Fopp, Jacks, Record Collector and Forever Changes in Sheffield.

Watch this space for details of the album launch event some time in March.

Red Threat have been forced to delay the release of their debut album, Your Call Is Important To Us, as their record company, Preserved Moose Recordings are said to be 'rather down on the cover.' To break this impasse the band have decided to re-shoot the cover photos and now hope to have the album available sometime in September, October, November , Dec.... (2006?)

Red Threat have finally finished recording their debut album. A physcial release will be available through this web site soon but in the meantime all nine tracks are available as mp3 downloads on the Discography & MP3 Downloads Page

Apparently better living can be achieved through the art of cookery, although meat (obviously) but also mushrooms and cauliflower (a little more suprisingly) are off the menu.

We're currently undertaking a tele-sales campaign in order to promote the latest Red Threat track Sales. We're sure those of you not currently on the mailing list will appreciate a cold call to advise you of the availability of the latest Red Threat product.

One of the best things about Sheffield is it's proximity to the Peak District. Rob's quite into walking and cycling and one of his favourite places to go is Derwent. Hence the song Derwent.

We've added more Links for you to surf off from and loads of new pics for you to enjoy. We know, we're just too good to you aren't we?

Sing along as you recall the sights and sounds of Sheffield as postman Rob delivers his round.

Red Threat inform us that they're starting to get the hang of this recording malarky but these things take time.
We caught up with Rob earlier this week and he told us that things were going well and how keen he was to get more of his music out there. He added things might be moving a little quicker if Warby could remember the guitar parts from week to week and not take all day to iron his work shirts! (ahh yes the self-flagellation of ironing work shirts, I know it well - ed.)
I guess that's Rock n' Roll for ya!

Red Threat's track The Last Thing I Need is number one in The Top 25 Songs Played By DJ Axe Over The Last 14 Days on Song Planet .com

Can't do Right was number 18 in DJ Mike's chart a few weeks ago so that's at least two people that have heard Red Threat's stuff!

The Latest track, Shining Black, certainly has a symphonic quality. Maybe it's a soundtrack to a film not yet produced, images of a frantic chase around a European city perhaps?
We've finally got broad-band here at Red Threat HQ, so we're able to offer higher quality Mp3's for your listening pleasure!

If you have broad-band, click here to download the high quality Shining Black mp3.

For those still using a modem, click here for the Shining Black two minute taster.

Roads is a reworking of a Son of a Cat Song written back in 1991. The Last Thing I Need sounds like Heavy Metal To us but Rob says not and he should know!
