Left Hand Red are a Brighton-based, indie-rock quartet formed in the summer of 2005. After spending two years building a strong collection of songs, 2008 saw the release of their third demo E.P., ‘Transition’. With the help of Brighton cohort Ali Gavan, who had previously worked and played with Electric Soft Parade amongst others, the band laid down the E.P. and the result was a top-drawer studio recording which retained the menacing rawness of their live performance. The E.P. gained positive reviews and helped Left Hand Red to gain slots at The Beachdown and Brighton Live festivals as well as playing a string of other successful shows around the south of England.

The band is in the ascendancy and 2009 will see the release of their debut single ‘Rope Burn’. The song is one of several new tracks that look set to be their most exciting material to date. Going down a storm when previewed at recent gigs, they confirm the band’s consistent song-writing abilities show no signs of slowing up.

With word spreading and fan-base growing by the day, Left Hand Red have everything in place to make 2009 their most successful year so far. The single is due for release on Monday 6th June 2009.

“Left Hand Red are highly watchable diamonds in a straight-up rock genre littered with bores. Their recent ‘Transition’ E.P. is well worth investigating” - Ben Miller, Critic, The Argus

”’Transition’, a raucous, lively and generally spiffing E.P.”- Latest Seven

“These sweet pop-rock hooks taste like everything from Oasis to QOTSA and smell like the good times you can only get with a good old rock out.” – Brighton Source Magazine

" Left Hand Red’s Voyeur EP sees the quartet tear through just 10 minutes of punchy riff-led rock. Dan Scully’s four-piece don’t waste time - this is raw good times music made for dancing. Brighton Source Magazine says 'These sweet pop-rock hooks taste like everything from Oasis to QOTSA', the latter comparison is the most apt, but the LHR’s pop appeal sets them apart from the usual heavy rocker suspects."
