RedHook hail from Sydney, Australia, and have been around since 2017, consisting of guitarist Craig Wilkinson, bassist Maverick Burnett, drummer Alex Powys and vocalist Emmy Mack. They released their first single 'Minute On Fire' in 2018 to positive reviews across Australia's top national and community radio stations. Their second single 'Turn Up The Stereotype' introduced new drummer Dan McFeeters, and following that single they seemed to shift from one genre of music to the next, going from goth to glam, emo, pop punk to indie among others. Third single 'Paralysed' heralded yet another change in drummer, with Alex Powys joining their ranks, and to celebrate the 20th anniversary of 'Guerrilla Radio' by Rage Against The Machine, they covered the song and released a music video for it. In 2019 they released 'Fake' as their latest single, and it was this which alerted me to the band, as it's mix of rap/rock/electro stood out among the generic indie that I was listening to at the time. Two more singles have followed since then, and if we collect them all together we have a perfectly acceptable mini-album which should bring the band to a wider audience while we wait for a proper record from them.
