Redline Band Biography
Drummer Mark Biddiscombe was previously with Metal band CHAINSAW who released the EP ?Police & Politicians? on Square Records. Bass player Martin Orum from Welsh rockers WITHERED MAN later joined CHAINSAW and both Mark and Martin were subsequently drafted in by NWOBHM band BITCHES SIN to provide the rythmn section for ?Predator?, the album released by Paul Birch?s Heavy Metal Records .
Seeking a change of direction Mark and Martin sought the talents of Guitarist Adrian Yeomans (aka A.D.) and Paul Bridgewater from SLOWBURNER, to form AOR band TAPANZEE, who?s music was hailed by BBC?s Tommy Vance as ...?Rock of exceptional quality!? An album, ?Tourniquet? was recorded at Muff Murfin?s Old Smithy Studios in Kempsey, but never released.
REDLINE opened their account in 2006 with the EP ?King Of The Mountain? released on their own Antarctic Records label. The success of the title track has led to the debut album ?Ignition? with Liam Doherty taking over the vocal duties from Paul Bridgewater.
Liam has been involved in many projects, as both session vocalist and independently as a vocalist in his own right. "Idol Rich" released the EP "Working Girls" featuring both Liam's vocals & his co writing talents alongside guitarists Tim Jones and Nick Burr. Later Liam was the writing force & vocalist behind the band "Love & War". Winning the BBC's Friday Rock show gaining acclaim from the show's Tommy Vance & great reviews from Rock press icons Metal Hammer & Metal Forces.
Following Love and War Liam took some time out to pursue other writing & recording projects looking all the while for "just the right" band before taking up the post of vocalist for REDLINE in January 2007 when work started on writing the debut album.
Recording ?Ignition? began in March 2007 at Mark Stuart?s MadHat Studios in Coven and scheduled to finish in May due to his touring commitments with Magnum. The final mix was handled by accomplished producer Sheena Sear.
