Two weeks to go and more details have surfaced about the Scottish shows at South by Southwest 2011.

Flood Of Red Leaving Everything Behind Dark City 19 October 2009 by Chris Cope Scotland is renowned for producing many fine things, but metal bands certainly aint one of them. Sure, Biffy Clyro flirted with it in their pre-stadia days, and the chaps in Mendeed briefly threatened to impact the UK rock landscape before meekly disbanding with all but a whimper. Next up to try and tartan-ify our ears are Flood Of Red , a six strong group from up [...]
Video: Flood Of Red "Home, Run (1997)"
Just when you think the debate about music distribution and downloading couldn't get any cloudier. Thoughtful Scottish upstarts, Flood Of Red elects to shun the standard £9.99 in HMV and Amazon format for the release of their debut album. Choosing a path usually only trodden by the likes of Muse and Radiohead etc, by offering [...]
My first post of October – five days in – and my first mailbox purge. The inbox filled up insanely quick over the last couple of weeks. I was already trying to decide whether I should dump everything at once or split it into a couple of posts. But after I culled through everything, deleting the invites to things I can't attend and the music you don't want to hear, I was left with this single, decent-sized post. A lot of this music veers toward the "indie" side of things. I've mentioned before that, as a general [...]
Young Scots, Flood of Red , play an earnest, honest, and very British kind of post-hardcore. Why on Earth did we send that moody bastard Hugh Platt to review the opening night of their UK tour? Okay, this is a kinda embarrassing. Deadbeat dead-end New Zealand garage rockers, The Datsuns, are playing in the venue next door to a full-house – there's almost as many people in the smoking area for the Datsuns' venue as there are at Flood of Red 's entire gig. [...]

There is no better way to prepare for your independently released debut album, than by unleashing a snippet of dawdling reflection that's backed to the hilt by hanging guitars and rubbing percussion. This helps to draw out Jordan Spiers' heartily yearning vocals that at times, mirror those of Geoff Rickly (Thursday). Through 'Home Run (1997)', Flood [...]
