BEHIND CRIMSON EYES Eventually, every good band will grow into their own. They 'discover' their true sound, and set themselves apart from a genre or scene to forge their own path. For some bands it can take five albums and a hundred reinvention's; for others it simply never happens.

With BEHIND CRIMSON EYES, their debut album 'A Revelation for Despair', has already laid the blueprint for a lingering destiny. This band developed a massive underground following through relentless touring, radio couldn't ignore the cry from fans and by the end of the year, Triple J had been won over - adding three songs to high rotation.

The band performed relentlessly clocking up over 150 shows in the year. In October 2005, they played the high profile Taste of Chaos Festival in Melbourne, and soon after sold out all but one show on their national headline tour. 'A Revelation For Despair' reveals a heavier side to the band, with no obvious pop songs tailor-made for radio and boring love songs designed to make girls weak at the knees.

Instead, they've created a dark and brooding album with flashes of light and hope - extinguishing the 'emo' label that had so often been stamped on their music, and boasting an energy that is sure to define a generation of listeners.

Before Behind Crimson Eyes, take to the stage at HOMEBAKE they will tour as main support to Bullet For My Valentine and will continue penning their next album.
