The Red The White and The Blue are Paul Cronin on guitar and Ed Loades on vocals joined by Rick McMurray from Ash on drums and Taka Hirose from Feeder on bass.

Our album tells the story of ‘The Balloonist’ over ten songs and ten accompanying comic books, which will be released in print, regular music formats as well as motion comic videos.

The story follows a love triangle between two feuding brothers and a girl that turns deadly; but death is only the beginning of the story…

We recorded the album with Ed Buller (of Suede, White Lies and Pulp fame) and will be putting new song/comic book combinations out from November 2012.

Ed Loades is animating the videos, and Paul is coding the website, app and interactive comics, so there’ll be a few surprises and hidden clues as the music and visuals combine to tell one story.
