She Burns Red Premiere 'Crosshairs' Video Ahead of Debut Album

She Burns Red have been announced as guests on South of Salem’s U.K. tour this Halloween season. To coincide with the news, the band have premiered a colourful yet chilling animated video for ‘Crosshairs’ that’s the stuff of nightmares if clowns aren’t to your liking. Previously featured on their 2020 EP, this single is a new studio recording and taken from She Burns Red's debut album, ‘Out of Darkness’, which will be released this September.

The band says, “‘Crosshairs’ speaks of bad relationships and how they can affect you. It’s in these desperate moments that you’re looking towards hope when all around you seems lost. It is far too easy to lose sight of what you have and blame others for what is happening to you when sometimes the answer to the question of what is wrong is yourself.”

Produced by Matt Elliss (Massive Wagons/Black Spiders), ‘Crosshairs’ features on a debut album that’s set to be one of the best releases of 2023. ‘Out of Darkness’ showcases why She Burns Red have quickly made a name for themselves in a short space of time. With their captivating live performances and raw musical talent, the West Lothian group blend hard rock with an alternative vibe coupled with plenty of punk and pop smarts; She Burns Red has delivered an album that is energetic, emotional, anthemic and at all times, authentic and optimistic; even the most darkest of times.

She Burns Red has good reason for such optimism in what are ever changing and challenging times for music artists and bands. Vocalist/bassist James McCulloch was almost paralysed having suffered from Cauda Equina Syndrome in 2017 which was followed by bandmate Andy Moore (vocalist/guitarist) needing to have a brain operation in 2019 (“it made sense why he was in constant pain and almost passed out at every gig when he was singing.” says McCulloch). With the pandemic and lockdowns of 2020/2021, and changes in the group line up, for a lot of bands this might have spelled the end of the road. However, with the addition of guitarist Naz Scanferlato and drummer Scott Hanlon (ex Anchor Lane), McCulloch and Moore knew they had something extra special and needed to pursue their ambitions. Which leads us nicely to the new album.

‘Out of Darkness’ is released 15th September 2023 and available for pre-order now.

Don’t miss the band live, go watch and see why they’ve been receiving such high praise for their forthcoming debut album.
