SCARLET REBELS – Where The Colours Meet (2024) *HQ*

Armed with the crack production team of Colin Richardson and Chris Clancy, SCARLET REBELS upcoming third album ‘Where The Colours Meet‘ sees the band radically expanding their sonic palette, bringing in lush instrumentation, keyboards and large drum sounds to channel the best of ’80s rock.
It’s an album full of fluid guitar lines, tasteful leads and irresistible ‘retro’ choruses but with a contemporary full-on sound.
This time, the band have collaborated with multi-award-winning blues artist Elles Bailey, who brings her velvety vocals to the co-written “Out Of Time”, plus Ricky Warwick (Black Star Riders) lends his songwriting prowess to the high-octane stomper and album closer, “My House My Rules”.
One immediate impression is that the Rebels have seriously upped the ante with the quality of songs on offer. It’s common for a band to hit you with both barrels on the opening track, and ”Secret Drug” is no exception with its twangy guitar opening giving me a Dokken ‘Its Not Love’ vibe with a blend of AC/DC thrown in for good measure.

Scarlet Rebels have really outdone themselves with ‘Where The Colours Meet’. Everything shouts out from the rooftops as to its class. The production is better than anything they have done before which elevates the songs to higher levels.
