About Us

Crimson, the new indie-rock sensation, hails from Maidstone, Kent and is now proudly based in Brighton. Unapologetically ruthless, a queer heartbreaker, and a natural-born rockstar, Crimson Elliott fronts the band with fierce charisma. The lineup is completed by James Cairns on drums, Hannah Stevens on trumpet, and Genevieve Carey on bass.

​

Performing as a four-piece, they craft an indie-fusion sound that moves effortlessly between vulnerability and raw, punk-edged grit. Their music bridges delicate, introspective ballads with explosive anthems charged with energy—creating a dynamic and immersive listening experience.

​

Crimson made their debut at 3G Treatment’s Redemption Festival in 2022 at The New Cross Inn. Since then, stand-out performance highlights include touring with The Subways, with notable shows at The Waterfront in Norwich and The Wedgewood Rooms in Portsmouth. They also reached their biggest audience yet at Trans Pride Brighton 2025, sharing the lineup with Kate Nash. The band has become a staple of Brighton’s live circuit, with regular appearances at Chalk, The Hope & Ruin, and Green Door Store, as well as standout sets at The Finsbury and Sanctuary Sessions in London.

​

Following the release of their first EP Bittersweet (2023), the band has leaned further into a bold, mischievous experimental streak. Their latest single Your Underwear marked a turning point—earning breakout praise for its wild, tongue-in-cheek edge and its gloriously chaotic, controversial music video that fans couldn’t stop talking about. Over the coming year, listeners can expect a series of unpredictable, genre-bending releases that push their sonic identity even further. This new era promises wackier concepts, bigger risks, and the fearless creativity that’s quickly becoming Crimson’s signature.
