The Suncharms: "Red Dust" 20 Years After

A quarter of century ago there was an emerging Sheffield based band, presumably heading for a very successful career. They used to master some jangle, fuzzy, delightful wall of whirl, rippling noise-pop like the best in business and did support bands such as The Orchids, The Television Personalities, Cranes, Catherine Wheel and Curve. In spite of all this, after having released two acclaimed EP's and recorded a John Peel session, familiar matters pushed the band to a long silence of almost two and a half decades since their last gig back in 1993. They are The Suncharms!

In 2016 the band released a CD compilation of the two EPs plus assorted demos and previously unreleased songs. As a result of all this renewed activity the band decided to get back to rehearsals, play their first gigs in over 20 years and write new music. Red Dust/Film Soundtrack, a AA side 7" is the very product of The Suncharms new and highly welcomed era of famed psychedelic, dream-hazyness.
