Mit Red Dirt Town schlägt die Allen-Forrester Band ein neues Kapitel auf. Die musikalischen Wurzeln der Band liegen nach wie vor im Southern Rock, Blues und Americana – geprägt von Künstlern und Bands wie The Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Black Crowes oder Blackberry Smoke. Gleichzeitig entwickelt die Band den eigenen Sound weiter und lässt neue Einflüsse zu, ohne dabei den Charakter ihrer Musik aus den Augen zu verlieren.
Mit „Skin Deep“ greifen Josh und Ben ein Thema auf, das in der heutigen Zeit allgegenwärtig ist: den Einfluss sozialer Medien und die Versuchung, sich ständig mit dem Leben anderer Menschen zu vergleichen. Der Titel spielt auf die Oberflächlichkeit vieler dieser Eindrücke an – auf Dinge, die oft nur an der Oberfläche existieren und selten die ganze Wahrheit zeigen.
Band:
Josh Allen (Lead Vocals & Electric Guitar)
Ben Forrester (Electric Guitar)
Hendrik Herder (Bass)
Matthias Böhm (Drums & Percussion)
Guest Musicians:
Simon Oslender (Hammond Organ & Wurlitzer)

Album Artwork
English
The new album from Allen-Forrester Band, Red Dirt Town, offers a fresh take on an old sound. The band’s foundation has always been built on the music that inspired them from the beginning—artists such as the Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Black Crowes, and Blackberry Smoke. While those Southern Rock, Blues, and Americana roots remain firmly intact, the band continues to look for ways to broaden their sound. On Red Dirt Town, that meant exploring more modern Nashville influences in their songwriting while staying true to the music that shaped them.
“Skin Deep” was written by Josh and Ben and explores how easy it is to become trapped by influencers and the illusion of someone else’s life. The title refers to the superficial nature of much of what we see online—everything existing only on the surface. Musically, it is a mid-tempo riff rocker with an uplifting chorus. The guitar solo features a tasteful trade-off between Ben and Josh.
