Band information
The Red Shore formed in Geelong in 2004 as a technical deathcore band. After developing a solid local following, the band released the "Salvaging What's Left" EP in 2006. Early the following year they were picked up for international distribution by Siege of Amida Records. Original drummer Richie left around the same time and was replaced in July 2007 by former The Ocularis Infernum member Jake Green. Shortly after this the band played some shows with Job For a Cowboy.
During an east coast tour with All Shall Perish, the band's van left the road near Coffs Harbour in the early morning of December 19 2007 and singer Morris was killed. He was 22. Their driver and merch guy Andy Milner also died in the accident.
The remaining members of the band decided to continue with The Red Shore with Jamie Hope switching to vocals; Jon Green from Picture the End joined the band in a temporary capacity as they toured with I Killed the Prom Queen and Bring Me the Horizon in May and June 2008. He became a permanent member of the band after the tour. Throughout October and November The Red Shore toured the UK with Bring Me the Horizon and Viatrophy. The band's debut album Unconsecrated was released on November 11. It includes three tracks featuring vocals by Morris and guest appearances from members of All Shall Perish, Bleeding Through, Zao, Bring Me the Horizon and Impending Doom.
Through December 2008 The Red Shore toured Australia with For the Fallen Dreams, headed out on another tour in January and were then play on the Summer Slaughter tour with Necrophagist, Dying Fetus, Aborted and The Faceless in March 2009. However, a month before Summer Slaughter, The Red Shore announced they were withdrawing from the tour for various reasons including continuing health problems stemming from the December 2007 accident.
A new album is due in May 2009 along with an Australian tour with Bring Me the Horizon.
