Hailing from Sunderland, England, Oi! punk band Red Alert recorded one album for the No Future label in 1983, We've Got the Power. When the label went bankrupt, Red Alert became a ship with no harbor, and eventually disbanded when satisfactory arrangements could not be made with another label. However, the band re-formed and began recording again in 1990; in 1992, the rhythm section of Keith Stix Warrington on drums (Cockney Rejects, Angelic Upstarts) and Gaz Stoker on bass (London Red) signed on for the album Blood, Sweat 'n' Beers. Other albums from the band's comeback include Breaking All the Rules, recorded for Dojo. Lead singer Steve Cast Iron Smith died on November 30, 2022 while in treatment for a blood infection. ~ Steve Huey, Rovi
