Show Your Colours is the debut album by SCARLET REBELS, showcasing an array of songwriting talent, coupled with real sonic weight making it a stunning record from start to finish,
never losing the focus that the song always needs to be served best. With the expertise of Tim Hamill (LEMMY, GIRLSCHOOL, GEAORGE MICHAEL) controlling the desk, the recording process started with drums and rhythm guitars before then handing over to the rest of the band to put their stamp on the songs. The outcome was 14 songs of soaring melodies, anthemic choruses, blistering guitars and heavy-duty drums.
Melodic classic rock band SCARLET REBELS were formed from the foundations of the rock band V0iD. The band have released three official albums under the name of V0iD – "Ballads For Beauties And Beasts" (2009), "Zer0" (2010) and "Keep Fighting" (2015).
In 2018 singer songwriter Wayne Doyle, energetic and powerhouse drummer Gary Doyle, harmonic, rhythmic bassist Wayne ‘Pricey’ Esmonde were joined by blistering lead guitarist Chris Jones and on second guitar/keyboards, Josh Townshend, who has rock royalty flowing through his veins being the son of The Who guitarist Simon Townshend and the nephew of rock icon Pete Townshend. And with the re-energised and re-imagined line-up came a new name – SCARLET REBELS Taking inspiration from the political situations across the world. Songs like "No One Else To Blame" starts with a punch to the guts, thanks to a roaring guitar intro from Chris Jones, and sets the tone for the whole album. "You Take My Breath Away" hits you with chorus of huge proportions while the talkbox intro and rant of "Head’s In The Ground" follows. Next up is southern influenced "Part Of Me" followed by the beautiful and poignant "Heal" which climaxes with a duel chorus of two separate voices conversing. "Let Your Love Go", "Nothing To Say" and "Save Me" maintain the highest of songwriting prowess and are all huge choruses based around roaring guitars and skull-busting drums. "Blinded By The Pain" follows with lyrical content based around mental health, which starts as a quiet introspective verse, that builds into a crescendo of layered vocals, guitars and pianos. 'Shattered Dreams" kicks the tempo back up with tribal drums, guitars and powerful vocals, before "Can I Open My Eyes" sees an autobiographical lament from singer Wayne Doyle, who’s tendency to get lost in the moment on stage means he often forgets the details of each show! The album closes with the sublime "Returning Light" a haunting ballad about bereavement and losing someone close to you. Scarlet Rebels prove on this album that songwriting, melodies, guitars, solos, bass and drums won’t ever go out of fashion. Scarlet Rebels are on the march Scarlet Rebels are endorsed by Blackstar Amplifiers and AD Custom Drums Signed to ROAR Records.
