Little Red - Recommended by Darren




Little Red formed in Melbourne five years ago, when five friends—Adrian Beltrame (guitar/vocals), Dominic Byrne (vocals/guitar), Quang Dinh (vocals/bass), Taka Honda (drums) and Tom Hartney (vocals/keys)—came together to jam in Adrian's basement, united by a love of infectious hooks and good times.


Rather than stealing inspiration from the ‘book of cool’ this 5-piece cut to the chase in a pure style they jokingly refer to as ‘doo-wop punk’. They maintain almost exclusively iconic influences, from a palette of Springsteen, Radiohead, early Elvis, Dylan, Sam Cooke, Nick Cave, The Beatles, and Lou Reed, as well as the more obscure gospel and doo-wop references that become apparent from listening to their fierce vocal passion, delivering the beauty and tension of musical emotion in a ragged and raw expression.
