About Me


.. "THE KRIMSON don't do anything by halves. Big riffs, giant beats, huge harmonies, and choruses so massive they have their own gravitational pull. Carefully treading the line between blusey rock and a laid-back west coast groove,
THE KRIMSON are a band on the up." EDD McCRACKEN, SUNDAY HERALD “After the top track "Comfort Zone" being released on the critically acclaimed " The Big Indie Comeback", a compilation album featuring the best and hottest new worldwide artists and bands, The Krimson have been signed to Matchbox Recordings for their stunning and epic debut album "Stone Cold Heart". Featuring a mix of dreamy, powerful, riff powered indie rock with a majestic, melodic and timeless drive.” DALE OLIVIER MATCHBOX RECORDINGS“They may have an album entitled “Stone Cold Heart” but the Krimson delivered some red hot rock at the Renfrew Ferry. Celebrating the release of their debut disc, the trio took the floating venue by storm….with a blistering set of songs from the new album….playing songs that positively simmered with musical creativity and pure emotion….if you see a local gig advertised, it‘s got to go in the ’must see’ category” JAMES TRIMBLE FALKIRK HERALD"Stone cold heart" is an epic debut album of dreamy, timeless guitar based proper songs with a melodic, melancholy but uplifting feel. These are heartfelt real songs of emotion, life, love and passion in the mood of The Psychedelic Furs, Big Country and Spear of Destiny" MATCHBOX RADIO 24 Stone cold heart is now available from Amazon.co.uk , CD Baby in the USA or direct from The Krimson themselves.Three piece indie guitar band based in Falkirk, although all three members of the band have gigged together in various other bands all over the UK. The decision to form up as a stripped down, everything laid bare trio is a reflection of their belief in the impact that their songs deliver even in the simplest of forms.Up until recently Stevie was the sole songwriter and brought complete songs for arrangement by the band however since moving into their own studio they've started to write as a band, with encouraging results! "Erosion" is the first song resulting from this fresh approach and will be available for download on myspace soon.After "Comfort Zone" was released on "The Big Indie Comeback" , a compilation album featuring the best and hottest new worldwide artists and bands, The Krimson have been signed to Matchbox Recordings for their debut album "Stone Cold Heart" which was released in November '06. ..
