Scarlet Rebels Storm UK Charts, Hitting #1 in Rock & #15 Overall

Welsh rock band Scarlet Rebels have achieved a remarkable milestone, securing the #1 spot on the Official Rock Chart and placing 15th on the UK Official Album Charts with their latest release, "Where The Colours Meet". This success comes just weeks after the album's release via Earache Records.

The band, hailing from a small town in South Wales, found themselves in a fierce chart battle, even reaching #3 in the midweek charts, vying for attention alongside pop sensation Taylor Swift. This unexpected chart climb highlights the band's growing popularity and the dedication of their fan base, known as the "Rebel Club".

Lead vocalist Wayne Doyle expressed his elation over the band's achievement, stating, “What a week. It’s been amazing to see how our Rebel Club banded around us. Being able to meet them and hear what this record means to them has been brilliant.”

He continued, "We’re a tiny little Rock band from a corner of South Wales, who managed to rally enough support for us to even attempt to take on the Giants of the Industry and the phenomenon of Taylor Swift. We’re absolutely thrilled to secure our second Top 15 record and first #1 Rock record on what has proven to be a really competitive charting week. What’s more important is seeing how this record has resonated with people and what it means to them already. This last week will stay with me forever.”

"Where The Colours Meet" is a testament to the band's dedication to their musical roots, with critics drawing comparisons to Welsh rock icons such as Stereophonics, The Alarm, and Manic Street Preachers.

The Scottish Daily Express lauded the album, stating, "Channelling the might of their countrymen… Groups like Stereophonics, The Alarm and Manic Street Preachers obviously fired these lads up."

Songwriting Magazine praised the band's willingness to experiment with new songwriting techniques, stating, "Channelling the best of classic rock while building from solid songwriting foundations, it’s music that chooses its accoutrements wisely."

Scarlet Rebels' recent chart success signifies a turning point for the band, who have persevered for two decades, finally reaping the rewards of their passion and resilience. Their ability to chart against industry giants highlights the power of independence, dedication, and fan support.

With "Where The Colours Meet" becoming their second charting album, Scarlet Rebels are steadily rising through the ranks, leaving an undeniable mark on the rock music scene.
