RED GIANT



Red Giant’s new single “It’s All Gone Wrong” is released Wednesday April 8th, and is available on all streaming platforms HERE. Watch the official music video below.


“It’s All Gone Wrong” is the second single from Red Giant’s highly anticipated E.P. Red Giant – Vol. 1 released Wednesday April 29th. The E.P. is available to pre-order HERE.


Dave Simpson is the lead guitarist and vocalist of Red Giant. He has built a dedicated following on his YouTube Channel with over 146,000 subscribers.


“We sing another song for you in the hope it might get through,” is the takeaway line from Red Giant’s latest single “It’s All Gone Wrong.”


It is a plangent outpouring of frustration aimed at the current state of the music industry. With hard working musicians having to compete in an ever increasingly corporate world of nostalgia acts and auto-tuned performers.


Red Giant’s passionate plea for recognition, not just for themselves but for all musicians offering original music seems to be falling often upon deaf ears.


The world is constantly changing, and music is no exception. To ignore the spirituality and feelings of human emotions generated in favour of A.I. music is a dead end in songwriting and music.


The greatest art was not created by teams of writers. It was created from the outpourings of the human soul with feelings of inspiration not through the filter of technology.


“It’s All Gone Wrong” is not just a plea for recognition. It is a warning to the world.

RED GIANT – BIOGRAPHY


Lead songwriter, guitarist and vocalist, David Simpson first picked up the guitar at 16 years old. Since that time David has been a prominent performer in several bands over the years and co-founded Red Giant at the beginning of 2024.


David decided after years of playing in other bands it was time to follow his own musical style. The music he was writing did not fit the bands he was playing with, and he soon set up his own group, The Dave Simpson Trio.


The trio performed all over the UK for years and was a very established blues rock band, but in 2024 the band wanted a change. Not just in name but in style, opting for a heavier rockier approach to go along with the new songs David was writing.


Red Giant was born. Not long after the name change the band went into the studio to record their self-titled debut album.


David hosts a popular YouTube Channel that has amassed over 146,000 subscribers due to his unique guitar playing style and expertise on the instrument.


David has been incredibly open about his struggles with mental health, and his blunt openness has helped countless others deal with their personal traumas. David’s work ethic is outstanding, tirelessly working on songs and videos while also performing and collaborating with other musicians.


John Joe Gaskin, the drummer for Red Giant, also started playing drums at the age of sixteen. As soon as he found the drums he wanted to do nothing else. He’s dedicated his life to the instrument.


John Joe is an absolute powerhouse of a drummer with a supernatural sense of time and is the bedrock of the band. Widely known as a dynamic and versatile performer, playing nationwide in the UK and Europe, John Joe is comfortable with any style of music.


John Joe not only performs his duties as the drummer of Red Giant but is also the joker of the band with his wicked sense of humour, who keeps everyone laughing.
