REDTRACK consist of Billy Wright (guitar / vox), Phil Blake (bass / vox), Mitch Silvey (guitar / vox / keys) and Andrew Perry (drums). They come from Southend-On-Sea, their bass player has survived an attack with a meat cleaver and they reckon they sound like a cross between Girls Aloud and The Clash.
'Whole Town's Heart' is their debut album and will be released on Monday 30th August. It is chewy and tuneful and, with its small-town panic attacks and punchy new wave melodic jabs, sees them nodding towards the classic Britpopesque heritage of Weller, Difford and Costello. Small wonder then that punkoid peer Pete Shelley from The Buzzcocks was so enamored with their tunes that he co-produced (alongside Dave M Allen) their last single, 'Poledancer', which appears on this here album. That isn't the only celebrity light shining on 'Whole Town's Heart, as it features a feisty guest appearance from 'Hollyoaks' starlet Hollie Jay Bowes on 'Pretty Boy', a spin-off from the band's recent performance on the show and they have a celebrity fan in actor Ray Winstone who suggested he could join them on a track in the future .
'Whole Town's Heart' is also the first ever album release on Label Fandango, the Pointy Recordings / Fierce Panda offshoot which has previously concentrated on ace singles by the likes of Broken Records, Fanfarlo, Air Traffic and more. And frankly it is a miracle that this record even exists seeing as how three years ago bassist Phil Blake was attacked with an air gun and a meat cleaver and so badly hurt that he needed microsurgery on severed tendons in his arm. That he is back playing is a testament to his spirit in the face of potentially crippling adversity. Certainly the printed press and television stations have recently been fascinated by his recovery. And seeing REDTRACK live you can see why his band mates downed instruments and waited for him to recover, for they are tight knit quartet of tautest order.
As for that somewhat daring reference to Girls Aloud and The Clash? Listen to future single 'The Trier' and try to keep your blue suede shoe planted firmly to the ground as they perform a number headline dates in the UK this summer before a series of shows supporting legendary punkers THE BUZZCOCKS in September!

Lyrics:
I didn't mean for you take me literally, I exaggerated.
I take things and I bend them out of shape.
I lied again, I missed a trick and I lost a friend.
Now I'm back tracking. I make plans and then I make sure I'm late.
She said "You know you're in trouble when you're making some plans and everybody's too busy running out on you.
You're alone in the firing line".
Oh when the bullets ricochet of the bones in my hands, I'll be saving some face 'cause I saw this coming too.
I'll go down, I'll be smiling inside.
Trust me as far as you can throw me, and I promise.
I'll be waiting, I'll be honest, I'll be a
Perfectly fine Intellectual.
Trust me as far as you can throw me, and I promise.
I'll be waiting, I'll be honest, I'll be a
Perfectly fine Intellectual.
They'll say "You silly thing! You fell for it and he let you in, he was so familiar"
The Saint with the venom of snake.
Because I'll lie again, I'll make you think it'll go ahead, 'cause I'm so familiar.
I'll take plans and then I make sure I'm late.
She said "You know you're in trouble when you're making some plans and everybody's too busy running out on you.
You're alone in the firing line".
Oh when the bullets ricochet of the bones in my hands, I'll be saving some face 'cause I saw this coming too.
I'll go down, I'll be smiling inside.
Trust me as far as you can throw me, and I promise.
I'll be waiting, I'll be honest, I'll be a
Perfectly fine Intellectual.
Trust me as far as you can throw me, and I promise.
I'll be waiting, I'll be honest, I'll be a
Perfectly fine Intellectual.
Perfectly fine Intellectual.
Perfectly fine Intellectual.
Perfectly fine Intellectual.
Perfectly fine Intellectual.
(Break)
Trust me as far as you can throw me, and I promise.
I'll be waiting, I'll be honest, I'll be a
Perfectly fine Intellectual.
Trust me as far as you can throw me, and I promise.
I'll be waiting, I'll be honest, I'll be a
Perfectly fine Intellectual.
Perfectly fine Intellectual.
Perfectly fine Intellectual.
Perfectly fine Intellectual.
Perfectly fine Intellectual.
