Sky Is Red are a post-rock band hailing from Ipswich, Suffolk. The band consists of guitarists Alex Coombes and Lorenzo Infantino, bassist Peter Yarham and drummer Aaron Dunkling.
The band were formed in early 2012, starting out with only Aaron and Alex, they soon added in Lorenzo and Peter in June 2013. The two released the band’s debut EP ‘Hyperion’ in late January 2013; the five-track EP, named after famous Greek gods, included Hyperion, Athena, Atlas, Chronos and Titan.
Combining post-rock with elements of metal and ambient soundscapes, this was the first band of its kind that I’ve heard of in the local area. The band played their first show on November 8th 2012, and recently played at the Grinning Rat in Ipswich, supporting local legends Sleepless Wild and The Aurora.
Their music is both relaxing and, well, quite frankly awesome, and you’re missing out if you haven’t listened to them yet. One of my favourite local bands. Looking forward to seeing more of them in the future. Check ‘em out.
