Details:
My Red Angel are Adrian Ramsay, Liz Witkowski and Forbes Coleman. Formed through an advert looking for a bassist, they have been together since November 2003 and have never looked back... Adrian and Forbes met through a previous band based in Oxford where Forbes was filling in part-time until they found a more permanent drummer. The band was very indie, and left them both frustrated; just wanted to push that third channel and hit that cymbal... In the end, it all came to head when Adrian left the band and Forbes suggested they take that third channel and cymbal and put them to good use.

The hunt for a decent bassist was started that very night. A few good responses, but one stood out. From a person called Liz who actually phoned Forbes one evening, after much prompting from her friends. Liz had been in bands previously, but her current band was driving her insane, doing covers of well-known songs, but in a CABERET STYLE BAND. So My Red Angel was exactly what she was looking for: a serious band that doesn't take themselves to seriously.

One rehearsal later, and two songs are born: NME and RAMM Memory. Early songs were heavily influenced by MUSE, but as time goes on...

Adrian's influence include Deftones, Blood Hound Gang and Radiohead.
Forbes' shift between Placebo, System of a Down and Aphex Twin.
Liz focuses around MUSE, Green Day and Foo Fighters.

All these influences combined mean My Red Angel have all the heaviness of System of a Down and Deftones, but retain the melodic qualities of MUSE and Placebo. For a three-piece, My Red Angel will be one of the loudest bands you've EVER heard...

Adrian's searing vocals lines and combination of heavy riffs and fret-wanking over Liz's sturdy, smooth bass-lines and Forbes' unbelievably loud, ear-piercing drumming make for one hell of live sound not to be missed.
