RED STAR performs a high-energy mix of original material of Indie, classic and hard rock. This 5 piece Yorkshire band formed in and around Huddersfield, early 2004. They are continuously developing a strong following of all ages. They are arguably the most dynamic and energetic live act coming out of the North of England today, switching easily between driving rock and more chilled numbers. Thunderous drums, Funked up Synth sounds, genius "Lead" Bass and razor sharp, screaming guitars all lay the foundations for Bloy's dark, suggestive and controversial lyrics, with his vocal delivery and antics on stage that are becoming legendary. RED STAR is the band that will define a generation!

REVIEWS
(Here is just some of the comments From Jessica Thornsby’s review of Law & Order for the ‘Leeds Music Scene’ web site)
“Laidback Indie grooviness” “Attention Grabbing” “And just when you thought that a riff couldn’t get any catchier RED STAR break it up and it becomes even more maddeningly addictive” “Solid, Competent rock” “Interestingly theatrical”
“The sound of a band having fun” “Classy old school swagger” “Strutting cock-rock confidence” “Refusing to take the obvious route”
“A liberal dose of pop ballad packed with shiny hooks and easy on the ear instantly likeable melodies” “Foot tapping fun” “Its impossible not to get caught up in this songs prozac bounce” “Guaranteed to put a smile on your face” “A multi part combination of styles” “Kick things back into gear” “Hypnotising the listener before reeling them in” “Delicate acoustic strains meandering along in sublimely mellow fashion” “Willingness to think outside the box”
“RED STAR are a notch or two above the hundred-and-one acts currently vying to be the NME’s next favourite band”
(Sheffield Student magazine, jan 2008)
"The lads from 'RED STAR' definitely have a big future with influences ranging from Oasis, The Stones Roses and a twist of Kasabian, they ARE the band to rejuvenate indie rock.
In 'Northerners In London Town', they may well have a modern classic".
(BBC Radio Manchester oct 2007)
"Redstar sent shivers down the spines of the scene kids, then made them re-assess there attire".
(Rocket dog reviews london jan 2009)
"Finally a band from north of the border got angry enough to start shouting about it, hailing back to the days when real bands made music, for real people. This is the band with the balls to pull the uk out of the musical recession that has its grip all over this once great musical nation, in other words "ave it cowell", you need this album".
