Tom Red

Tom Red is a London band fronted by Tom Roffey, with Paul Rawson on guitar, Craig Lord on bass, and Dave Pope on drums. They came up through the city's underground scene with a sound that's hard to pin down, haunting and raw, built around Roffey's vocals and lyrics.

Their debut album was called 'Dead Things to Life,' which gave them the title track that became something of an anthem. Other songs like 'Gravity' and 'The Valley' show their range. Roffey's writing tends to circle themes of loss and resilience without offering easy answers.

Over a few albums, including 'The Obsidian Path' and 'The Lazarus Code,' they've kept at it with the same lineup. The music stays grounded in that initial approach: melodic but heavy, introspective but direct. They've built a following that sticks with them, drawn to the consistency of what they do.
