Redeye Empire is generating massive buzz and earning the respect of fans and industry alike. They started their musical journey in early 2005 after a surfing trip down the West Coast generated a number of great songs. Friends since high school, co-lead vocalists Gabe Davis and Mike Redmond put together a band in Vancouver, BC. While Sublime, Led Zeppelin, Bob Marley and the Chili Peppers are sonic influences, Redeye Empire has emerged with a Rock/Reggae/Ska/Pop vibe, style and sound that is all their own.
In 2007 Redeye Empire toured the US in support of G.Love & Special Sauce, playing sold out shows in major US markets at venues like The Vic Theatre in Chicago, House of Blues Orlando and Stubbs BBQ in Austin Texas. Upon returning from the tour the guys immediately started working on their sophomore album with producers Chris D (Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, G.Love) and Ben Kaplan (Shakira, Trapt, Hedley) recording the follow up to their self-titled debut album. The album was released in 2008 and is titled ‘The Diary Of Everett Miley’ in honor of their tour bus driver.
Redeye Empire has recently toured the US with Pepper who have headlined the Warped Tour. Redeye Empire once again played shows at venues such as Stubbs BBQ, House of Blues Dallas, Orlando and Myrtle Beach as well as many other large venues from California to Connecticut. Redeye Empire has also toured with Fishbone and has shared the stage with Slightly Stoopid, Michael Franti and Xavier Rudd.
