Rock and Roll... kinda
Back in the Red are a covers band built around one simple idea: play great songs, play them properly, and keep people on the dancefloor. Their set moves easily between indie, 80s and classic rock — from Arctic Monkeys and The Weeknd to The Smiths, Blink-182 and Thin Lizzy — without ever feeling like a playlist on shuffle. It’s a set full of songs people recognise straight away, delivered without gimmicks or overthinking — just tight, energetic performances of tracks from artists like Oasis, Th
Paul
Vocals & Guitar
Paul is the heart and voice of the band, wielding his trusty 1975 Deluxe Telecaster like it’s an extension of himself. With his signature glasses and cheeky smile, he leads the band through every riff and chorus, making sure every gig hits the sweet spot between precision and chaos. When he’s not on stage, Paul’s probably plotting the next setlist or debating which Adidas trainers go best with a black shirt.
Ben
Bass
The backbone of the band, Ben keeps the groove locked and the rhythm irresistible. Towering and always smiling, he brings energy and humor to every rehearsal, rocking a Hawaiian shirt and his black Spector Legend 4 bass like a pro. Whether laying down deep bass lines or cracking jokes backstage, Ben ensures the band never misses a beat—or a laugh.
Chris
Lead Guitar
Known for his infectious energy and signature riffs, Marshy is the spark that keeps the band on fire. Whether he’s coaxing the perfect solo from his guitar or cracking a joke mid-set, his charisma is impossible to miss. Offstage, he’s the unofficial historian of the band, always ready with a story about a gig gone sideways or a perfect chord change. Fans love his playful stage banter almost as much as his chops.
Jase
Drums
Jason is the heartbeat of the band, delivering thunderous grooves that make audiences move. Calm under pressure but relentless behind the kit, he keeps the rhythm tight while adding just the right amount of flair. His precise timing and energetic fills are the backbone of every track, and his dry sense of humor keeps the band grounded on and offstage. A reliable anchor with a love for big drum solos, Jason is the guy everyone trusts to carry the beat.
