Redfaces are Harry Lyon, from Dronfield, on vocal and rhythm guitar, his former school pals Charlie Yapp, of Chesterfield, on drums and Isaac White, of Sheffield, on bass, backing vocals and keyboards.

Fourth member of the band is Ryan Laycock, on lead guitar, who joined them last year.

They were signed over a year a go by Sony RCA while still at school and were launched as the city's best kept secret when they set the music world on fire with the release of their aptly named explosive debut single Kerosene.
