About Me

Racingreen are a 5 piece band based in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire and one of the most promising unsigned bands around. Having been regular performers locally and in Glasgow for the last few years and enjoyed some decent radio play with previous recordings, the lads have been busy writing new songs, and recently completed the tremendous recording of what has fast become a fans favourite, PLASTIC PARADISE. With the band sounding stronger and fresher than ever, the infectious melodies are sure to have you singing along in no time. This video for "Talk to Me" was filmed by Peter Dougherty former lead guitarist who filmed some footage from a couple for gigs in Glasgow and Kilmarnock when he visited the UK recently and worked some magic puting the whole thing together...hope you enjoy it !
