After suffering a near-fatal seizure, visionary performer Trash McSweeney now sees colour in music and has set out to share with the world the ideas he has seen and felt. By taking to his guitar, piano and notebook, The Red Paintings were officially born upon the dawn of the new millennium…

Orchestral art rock group The Red Paintings have released their new single “Wasps” from their debut full-length studio album ‘The Revolution Is Never Coming.’ The highly anticipated album is out now on The End Records (The Prodigy, The Dandy Warhols) in North America & Graphite Records in the UK & Europe. “Wasps” is currently impacting at radio with early adopters beginning to push the song into rotation at WARQ and KFMA. Recently, the music video made its premiere at MTVu, calling it “dark, cinematic and slightly disturbing…similar in spirit to NIN or 30 Seconds To Mars.” The video has already debuted at the Roswell International Film Fesitval. View “Wasps” now online at: http://youtu.be/e-iUVFcwZE4.

Known for their visionary stage shows incorporating live art, human canvases, and theatrics, The Red Paintings are a multi-faceted genre-spanning act incorporating everything rock from alternative to punk to industrial. Fresh from UK festival touring with Y Not Festival and Rebellion Festival, the band recently wrapped a U.S. tour supporting …And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead and will return to the U.S. in December to tour in support of their new album. Following a sold-out U.S theatre tour earlier in the year, The Red Paintings will once again join punk-lords Mindless Self Indulgence on their massive UK, Russia & Europe tour throughout November and December.

The band is currently seeking submissions from local artists, to curate the live onstage art show to incorporate into their stateside musical performances. For consideration, visit the band’s Facebook page:

The extensive touring news follows a busy end to 2012 that saw The Red Paintings kick off their worldwide campaign with a 16-date US tour and 40-date tour of the UK & Europe, as well as a headline tour of Australia earlier this year.

Now available worldwide, the recently release single “You’re Not One Of Them” has already picked up steam overseas, spinning on over 140 stations across the UK & Europe, including XFM, Kerrang, Q and the BBC. Reaching #42 on the US FMQB sub-modern commercial radio chart, the track also hit #90 on the German college radio charts and spent 4 weeks in the Top 10 at Australian community radio. The uniquely creative video clip for the track follows a series of award-winning clips from the band that have been screened at film festivals worldwide and featured in Australia on the television music network Channel V and MTV as well as Kerrang & Q TV in the UK. View the video for “You’re Not One of Them”: http://youtu.be/C6NSmhxn9V0 5 years in the making, ‘The Revolution Is Never Coming’ was recorded and mixed with the late Bryan Carlstrom (Alice in Chains, Rob Zombie) in world class studios around the globe. The album includes a 35 piece orchestra, a 22 piece choir, harp players, French horns, theremin and more. The band raised donations from fans all over the world to create their vision and have received critical acclaim for their creative vision and ambitious scope.

Bryan Carlstrom – Producer, Engineer (Alice in Chains, Rob Zombie):
“In my entire 30 year career I’ve not mixed such a diverse, colourful
and emotionally dynamic album such as this, it’s like a 21st century
War of the Worlds.”

Trash McSweeney – The Red Paintings:
‘’People create an album around a life, I created a life around an
album.’’
