| Comments from 3CR manager
"We approached Mighty Atom because they are the hottest UK rock label right
now. The majors haven't got a clue about rock music, we want to work with the
right people who are doing it for the right reason and we found them in
Swansea. At the moment the deal is just for 'Repeat 2 Fade' but if this goes
well who knows what it will lead to?" |

 3 Colours Red
2003 could be the year that propells recently
reformed 3 Colours Red back into the big time. With countless anthemic classics
alreayd in their back catalogue, who would bet against them?
3 Colours Red release their first single for over 3 years on
May 19. 'Repeat To Fade' b/w 'Shopping Trolley Children' and 'Vitriol' is
released on CD only by hip new rock label Mighty Atom (Home of Funeral For A
Friend, Liberty 37). Here's what the band have to say on the new track "Repeat
To Fade"
Pete Vuckovic
"I first heard the riff
on a demo around Chris' house and got genuinely excited about the 3cr
reformation, it didn't sound like our first 2 albums, which to me was green
light enough. The title comes from reading words to songs from pop magazines
where it says 'chorus' (repeat to fade), I think it represents a few things at
the moment, feelings are second to profit the world over that come out in
various forms, like music, media, wars and television. Basically... Don't shut
up."
Chris
McCormack"We've been writing some really different songs, actually
it's the first time Pete and i have written songs together from scratch and
they're fucking heavy. Repeat to fade was the first song finished after
reforming and nothing like anything else we've done before."
3 Colours Red
re-formed last spring after a 2 year hiatus. The band, who have had two top 20
albums and eight top 40 singles played a sell-out 10 date UK tour last November
before entering the studio with the man who mixed their hugely successful
'Revolt' album in 1999 Chris Sheldon (whose other clients include Foo Fighters,
Idlewild and Hell Is For Heroes) to record the three tracks that make up the
single.
3 Colours Red are currently on a six-week European tour with
German punk band The Donots. They hit the UK for the following dates:
