Scarlet Rebels to release new studio album “Where the Colours Meet” on August 16th 2024 South Wales’ Top 10 rockers Scarlet Rebels return with the follow-up to their #7 UK Top 40 Album “See Through Blue”. Boasting an eye-popping album cover by Boomtown Festival poster designer Holy Moly, it certainly lives up to its name and perfectly illustrates the band’s message of unity – i.e. “Where the Colours Meet”.
Armed with the crack production team of Colin Richardson and Chris Clancy, “Where the Colours Meet” sees the band radically expand their sonic palette, bringing in lush instrumentation, piano, keyboards and large drum sounds to channel the best of 80s rock. It’s an album full of fluid guitar lines, tasteful leads and irresistible choruses but with a contemporary full-on sound – imagine a modern-day U2 meets Bruce Springsteen! This time, the band have collaborated with multi-award-winning blues artist Elles Bailey, who brings her velvety vocals to the co-written “Out of Time”, plus Ricky Warwick (Black Star Riders, The Almighty) lends his songwriting prowess to the high-octane stomper and album closer, “My House My Rules”. Diehards will spot that two songs from Scarlet Rebels’ live sets come to life too, as “Let Me In” and “Practice Run”, which have been fixtures at their concerts, are now heard on a proper studio recording for the first time…
