This account is my demo disk, while I'm on the look out for other musicians to play with. I am under no illusion that any tracks on this account are releasable!

Red Kites music is epic yet intimate, combining emotive lyrics and sweeping melody delivered with a fierce determination. Balancing pop songwriting with raw celtic-tinged alt-rock and an unpredictability which is entirely their own, the band’s unrestrained creativity lends a refreshing edge to their take on modern rock music.

The band formed in September 2010 at college in Guildford, Surrey, but their roots began in The Highlands of Scotland, where many of the songs were written. Inverness remains the band’s second home, and they frequently return north for festivals and to tour venues across Scotland.

Their self-released debut E.P 'Beat in Time' was released in April 2012 to critical acclaim, and the follow up ‘New Life Ignites’ was released in June 2013.
