Following the release of Flood of Red’s debut album through their own label Dark City exclusively at www.floodofred.co.uk, the band will be hitting the road hard on the lead-up to Christmas.
Firstly, the band head out with We Are The Ocean next week. Vocalist Jordan says about the announcement of Flood of Red’s addition to the tour – “We have never really had the chance to play a good set of shows with We Are The Ocean and we’re all stoked about it. With both our debut albums recorded with producer Brian McTernan and both out this very year, it’s an exciting time for both our bands.”
Of The Xcerts Christmas Tour in Scotland, Jordan has the following to say – “The Xcerts are one of the most talented young bands out there and we have been good friends with them for several years now. Every opportunity we get to play with each other is an enjoyable one. Expect lots of crazy festive surprises when we pair up to tour in December, it’s gonna be awesome!”
Flood Of Red formed in Airdrie, a satellite town twelve miles east of Glasgow in 2004. Starting out as a trio who met via school and the local skate scene, they soon expanded to a sextet. The band went straight out on tour just months after their formation, all aged just seventeen. Fast-forward to January 2nd 2009 when Flood Of Red flew to Baltimore, Maryland 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. Having been so far on their journey up to this point, Flood Of Red are now more than ready to share their lovingly crafted debut full-length with the world as they continue to tour tirelessly in support of the record.
