Biography
Formed in September 2008, The Red Pills are Captain Mayhem, Major Layoff, Private Parts & General Ignorance. They are currently assaulting the West Yorkshire music scene with their catchy brand of punk 'n' roll and trademark vigorous performances.
Originally called The Plastic Circus, the band attempted to find a new name that would encapsulate the new band ethos that arose from the addition of two new members. Names that were considered included 'The Naughty Gentlemen', 'Dresden Jesus' and 'Doctor Blasphemy.' Eventually they settled on 'The Red Pills' due to the consequences of taking a Red Pill in the 1999 movie 'The Matrix.'
The Red Pills released their first EP - 'Awakening' in March 2009, with the fifth track 'Smile For Me Jenny' twice being played on Alan Raw's BBC Raw Talent show.
The Red Pills also achieved a second place in the Yorkshire Battle of the Bands competition and recently created a special edition 'Doctor Who' themed single called 'Bigger On The Inside.' They intend to create a music video for the song 'Parting Words' and are set to appear on 'Svengali', a youtube comedy about the music industry which has just been bought by the BBC.
A second EP - 'Missiles' was released on February 5th 2010. Work has now begun on their first full album, a concept album featuring sixteen all new songs.
