“Their clean and jangly guitar melodies bring to mind early work by The Strokes and Arctic Monkeys… [Good God, Great Gatsby]’s progression from chirpy sunny-day bopper to cloudy depression shows real songwriting ability – there’s clearly more to come from this lot.” – The Miniature Music Press
““an intelligent, composed guitar band with a subtle and stylish tuneful electronic feel. The foursome’s sound seems more akin to North America than Cardiff… melodic tracks threaded with a slightly 1960s tinged, yet gently electronically spiky guitar sound, resulting in an overall musical texture not dissimilar to a Two Door Cinema Club/Band of Horses hybrid… The Red Age are a Cardiff band to watch” – Plugged In Magazine

The Red Age are an indie band based in Cardiff that formed in 2010. They aim to produce interesting, melodic, and original music with a desire to never be predictable in their writing or live performances.
The band consists of Craig Stewart (guitar and vocals), Mike O’Kane (guitar), Rory Lewis (bass), and Jean-Pierre Marquis (drums).
