Jordan Red

Jordan Red are a London-based alternative metal and hard rock group active since 2020. The band is formed by frontman Dan Leigh and guitarist Dan Baker, and it develops a sound that combines melodic 21st-century rock and alternative metal with the more aggressive energy of modern punk, with an emphasis on large riffs and prominent choruses.

Recording and releases

The album features bassist Conor O’Keefe and drummer Dave Fee, both of As Lions on Eleven Seven Music.

The band’s early single Beautiful Monsters launches them with a video produced by Sitcom Soldiers, who also work with All Time Low, Sleeping With Sirens and Of Mice And Men. Their fourth single, Way Down, premieres on Kerrang! Radio and is added to Amazon Music UK’s “Best New Bands” list. Awake later marks the band’s BBC Radio 1 debut when it appears on BBC Introducing Rock with Alyx Holcombe.
