Red Sails

Red Sails is Tom Tierney, Patrick Southern and Colin Fahrner. The trio was initially formed as a backing band for Tom Tierney's solo folk/punk project - playing the folk tunes in a new, noisier format. Today, Red Sails brings to life the wilder face of Tierney's songwriting, which the Boston Globe has called "a mix of punk rock, pretty melodies, atypical composition, and gravelly voiced storytelling."

Since forming, Red Sails has released an eponymous EP and has performed extensively in the New York and Boston area. After welcoming new drummer Colin Fahrner, the group is now preparing for the recording of a single, entitled Tides, which will be released toward the end of the year. Following that, the band plans to release their first full-length album in the spring of 2008.
