The Red Eyes (https://www.facebook.com/The-Red-Eyes-174928245876759) are a 70's style punk band from Glasgow who formed in May 1997. You can listen to their previous releases here https://theredeyes.bandcamp.com/ but today I'm posting a song from their new album, Falling Thru' The Cracks.
Veterans of The Rebellion, Nice 'n' Sleazy and Wasted festivals and regulars on the gig scene (you may have caught them supporting the likes of SLF, Theatre of Hate & Spear of Destiny, UK Subs, 999, Undertones, The Alarm, Goldblade, Sham 69 etc, they're a band who pride themselves in the strength of vocalist Alan Bishop's impressive song writing skills. What's more, they're improving with every release.
To highlight those skills, here's a song written about the Miami Showband massacre in Ireland back in 1975 when three members of the Miami Showband were killed by loyalists in a bomb and gun attack when their bus was stopped near Newry in 1975 as they travelled back to Dublin from a gig.
