Red Kites

Red Kites music is epic yet intimate, with emotive lyrics and sweeping melody all wrapped in a pop sensibility and unpredictability which is entirely their own. Their songs are rendered with a distinctively honest voice and delivered with a fierce determination.

The band formed in September 2010 in Guildford, Surrey, but their roots began in The Highlands of Scotland. A shared love of modern folk and rock drove the sound’s direction, but varied musical backgrounds brought unexpected ingredients to the mix, leading to a sound that was original whilst channelling a vast spectrum of influences.

Their debut E.P 'Beat in Time' was released in April 2012 to critical acclaim, and the band went on to play several Scottish festivals that summer, including Rockness, Belladrum and Go North. The second E.P ‘New Life Ignites’ was released in June 2013, the band’s next release ‘Salt Water’ comes on December 2nd 2014.
