Redsocks is a Portuguese Punk-ska band, hailing from Ovar and formed in 2004.

Although the band is heavily influenced by other punk and ska groups (including NOFX, Lagwagon or Mad Caddies), its music tend to mix all influences, creating a unified musical genre, that is enjoyed by all kinds of listeners.

History

Redsocks was formed in 2004, in Ovar, when four friends (Hugo - guitar, Pinguim - bass guitar, Jon - guitar and Miguel - drums) decided to start a band, so they could play the same songs their favorite punk-rock bands played. After some rehearsals and a few gigs (having the chance to play with some big portuguese bands, such as More Than a Thousand, Fonzie and EasyWay), Miguel left the band, behing replaced by the current drummer, Jimmi. It was around that time that Lula joinned the Redsocks, along with his saxophone. [ [http://www.myspace.com/meiasvermelhas/ History - from Redsocks' Myspace] ]

After a lot of rehearsals and sporadic gigs, in 2008, Redsocks recorded their first EP, called "Rock & Roll is Bitchin'", and are currently promoting it through a series of live shows, in many Portuguese cities, such as Oporto, Coimbra, and Aveiro.] .
