Red Guitars Hallam Lewis, John Rowley, Lou Duffy-Howard, and Matt Higgins release their third single as a four piece, under their current name, Undead Guitars.
Beyond the Blues is released on January 30th 2026 on all the usual digital platforms and Bandcamp, via Scratch Plate Records.
The band’s new single is a spacey reflection on how music has changed through the last 40 years.
Singer and songwriter Hallam Lewis explains: “It’s both a celebration and a lament, about age, death and the passing of cultural icons. Seeing how the passage of time makes the past recede, I was feeling conscious of the way that the cultural power of rock music was slipping into history, hence all the name drops referring to the heyday of rock, psychedelia and hippydom – when these things all felt so vital and relevant. (See if you can spot ’em all!). I also remembered Derek Jarman talking about the colour of death being blue and I dipped into that – Beyond the Blues. I love the atmospheric dubby echoes in the music, ‘disappearing into the ether’, and the almost inadvertent flavours of Ennio Morricone feed into the whole “riding off into the sunset” feel – our very own psychedelic spaghetti western.”
