Red Giant is pleased to announce the release of their new E.P. Red Giant – Vol.1 on Wednesday April 29th via CD, Spotify, and iTunes.

The CD is available HERE. The EP is available on the streaming platforms HERE.

To celebrate the occasion, the band are excited to release “Overcome” the third single from the E.P. accompanied with an official music video on YouTube HERE.

Red Giant is the brainchild guitarist and vocalist, Dave Simpson who has become a popular guitar novice with his popular YouTube Channel that has generated over 147,000 subscribers.

‘Overcome’ is the first song that Simpson wrote in 2004; never finding a home until now. This song entails feelings and thoughts that are still fresh in his mind from his traumatic school days.

“Opening with words of rejection and hopelessness, the song resolves with lines of resistance, assertiveness and self-belief,” reflects Simpson. “The end of the song brings confidence and belief in the ability to overcome any struggle that comes your way. It’s a testament to never giving up.”

This E.P. reflects a condensed history of Simpson’s musical career from his early days fronting grunge and punk bands to his latest incarnation, Red Giant.

The first song on the E.P. “Are you Alright?” is concerned with the effects of the Covid pandemic and the impact that countering it produced, isolation, worrying about the health of family members, friends and struggling with mental health.

“Can’t Find Me” is a song from Dave’s early years, now heavily reworked in the inimitable style of Red Giant. The song is about broken relationships, isolation, and anonymity in the modern world.

“It’s All Gone Wrong” is a heartfelt plea on behalf of struggling musicians everywhere trying to find ever-elusive success in a world already saturated with cheaply available music. It’s a situation that is inevitably getting worse.

Red Giant are the ones to watch on the UK live circuit. With an extremely successful 2025 the band is looking to capitalize on their forward momentum with their highly anticipated E.P. that features four brand-new songs.

The band is playing and sounding better than ever with strong live performances and confidence. 2026 looks like it will be another exciting year for Red Giant.
