Redtrack are currently riding high at the moment with the reaction to their double A  single “Perfectly Fine Intellectual / Imogen” . The NME rated it last months must have track and the video (see below)  is curently being shown on Top Man TV. This is the fourth release from Southend’s Redtrack and precedes the album 'Whole Town’s Heart', to be released on Fierce Panda sub label Fandango on August 9th.

Redtrack are Billy Wright, Phil Blake, Andy Perry and Mitch Silveyand recently won the Hollyoaks Music Show competition and appeared on the Channel 4 soap in February this year.

‘Whole Town’s Heart’ is also the first ever album release on Label Fandango, the Pointy Recordings / fierce panda offshoot which has previously concentrated on ace singles by the likes of Broken Records, Fanfarlo, Air Traffic and more. And frankly it is a miracle that this record even exists seeing as how three years ago bassist Phil Blake was attacked with an airgun and a meat cleaver and so badly hurt that he needed microsurgery on severed tendons in his arm. That he is back playing is a testament to his spirit in the face of potentially crippling adversity. Certainly the printed press and television stations have recently been fascinated by his recovery. And seeing Redtrack live you can see why his band mates downed instruments and waited for him to recover, for they are tightknit quartet of tautest order. Catch live at the following venues:-

July 27 - Bomfest, Barnsley
Aug 12 -  Album launch party @ The Borderline, London
Sep 10 - Peterlee Leisure Centre, Co Durham
