Red Alert

by Steve Huey
Hailing from Sunderland, England, Oi! punk band Red recorded one album for the No Future label in 1983, Weve Got the Power. When the label went bankrupt, Red became a ship with no harbor, and eventually disbanded when satisfactory arrangements could not be made with another label. However, the band re-formed and began recording again in 1990; in 1992, the rhythm section of Keith Stix Warrington on drums (Cockney Rejects, Angelic Upstarts) and Gaz Stoker on bass (London Red) signed on for the album Blood, Sweat n Beers. Other albums from the bands comeback include Breaking All the Rules, recorded for Dojo.
