Summer 2008. An ad could be found at the edge of the wide wide web… It read something like this : “Fab, guitarist, is looking for aficionados to riff with him in a hot sand desert atmosphere”. A second guitarist quickly replied : “Hi, I’m Bapt, I’m the one you’re looking for”.

After hearing each other’s compositions, the two guitarists are on the same wavelength, on the musical as on the personal level. But they still have to make the line-up complete. By word of mouth, Matz, his roaring bass and his style integrate the project. Almost eight months later, after several attempts and a good few encounters, the trio finally finds his drummer. Sylvain immediately gets into the movement, breathing the right feeling and rhythm into the band. The rehearsals follow one another and promptly confirm the solidity and the synergy of the instrumental line-up. THE voice remains to be found.

End of 2008. With a couple of sharp titles, the four stooges proceed with their research, to finally meet Geoff. Fab starts Green Machine’s intro riff. Sylvain drums hard, Matz’s bass and Bapt’s guitar strengthen the thick and heavy sound pouring into the room. Then Geoff grabs the mike and joins in with his specific rage and range.

All five of them look at each other. Geoff obviously brings the presence and strength long awaited, thus finalizing the creation of the band. It is sometimes striking how some paths mingle into an asphalt track, unwinding on remote landscapes, peaceful or wild.

At least this is how these guys feel about their project and become Coffin on Tyres. They unite their backgrounds to make their way through the sand, with the will to go far in their brand new "Coffin on Tyres".

August 2009. Three months after the arrival of it’s singer, the band is in full creative bloom. The guys record eight titles that will become their self-produced debut album. Red comes into being in March 2010.

This album brings us at the precise moment where darkness replaces daylight, when the horizon becomes red and our perception of the things surrounding us is altered. The sand beneath the rocky road that Coffin on Tyres takes becomes red also. The red of passion, love and lust, but also the red of blood, violence and danger.

This is where Red is taking us.
