VICE KILLER
'THE RED SKY'
The County Durham based alternative indie four-piece Vice Killer release their new single 'The Red Sky' on April the 7th. This is their first release of the new year and follows last year's acclaimed single 'Past Life'.
With a sublime lead guitar sound that serves as a vehicle for the track along with a solid, captivating beat and yearning vocals from frontman Thomas Gilling, 'The Red Sky' is Vice Killer's most thought provoking and engrossing release to date. This new single sets Vice Killer apart from their contemporaries and demonstrates the north-east band's diverse songwriting style to the full.
'The Red Sky' was recorded in Liverpool's Motor Museum with Al Groves (Oasis, The 1975, Jake Bugg). On recording with Groves, Thomas Gilling said "This was the first time we'd ventured out of Newcastle to record, we'd spoken to a lot of producers but Al stood out as one of the best. We learnt how to make the most out of a song, not to just go into the studio and hit record. Al wasn't shy of telling us when we weren't up to scratch...he really put his own stamp on the track. especially in the bridge, using dreamy synths and giving it a somewhat spacey sound."
Vice Killer released their debut EP in 2021 and they quickly gained momentum, headlining sold-out shows in Sunderland and Newcastle in 2022 and they were also featured on BBC Introducing. Their growth is impressive and 'The Red Sky' is sure to add fuel to the fire.
