Crosshairs
She Burns Red Records
Release: 18 August 2023

“HOPE, TRUST and HUMANITY are not just words, it’s everything we’re fighting for, it’s everything we are”.

Scottish rock outfit She Burns Red are the “truth” when it comes to gritty feral infused slabs of hard crunching rhythms and standard flying rock anthems.

Riffs go wild, melodies are plentiful and make no mistake, She Burns Red are potential game changers.

Vocalist/Guitarist Andy Moore & Vocalist/Bassist James McCulloch have been the two constant members and after a few line-up changes She Burns Red solidified with the additions of Scott Hanlon (ex-Anchor Lane) on Drums and Lead Guitarist, Naz (an Italian living in Edinburgh) in 2020.

Their Toby Jepson (Little Angels/Wayward Sons) produced Take Back Tomorrow EP gained the interest of Raz White, and as soon as covid lockdown ended, they struck a management deal that would see the band become the talk of the UK live music scene over the next 12 – 18 months.

Performing at Call of the Wild Festival, Rockwich, Rockmantic Weekender, Winter Rocks & most recently Love Rocks Festival in Bournemouth, not forgetting, supports to Wayward Sons, Black Spiders, Florence Black, Mason Hill, South of Salem & Trucker Diablo in Northern Ireland, this combo lives for the road, meeting fans and creating amazing memories for all who get involved.

 

Quote about the song:
Crosshairs speaks of bad relationships and how they can affect you. Looking towards hope when all around you seems lost. It is far too easy to lose sight of what you have and blame others for what is happening to you when sometimes the answer to the question of what is wrong is yourself. (James)

Words written by Andy, music by She Burns Red. We previously recorded a version with Toby Jepson for our last EP, but the song has taken on new life since then with the addition of Naz and Scott. We felt it was right for updating.
