Forming in January 2004, Behind Crimson Eyes have leapt into the limelight with their unique take on the pop punk genre. One of the first bands in Australia to play ‘emocore’ style of music, made popular by such bands as Taking Back Sunday, Finch and The Used, Behind Crimson Eyes have risen to prominence through hard work and a lot of talent. With little more than a three track demo and a D.I.Y ethic, the boys have managed to support such great international bands as New Found Glory, MxPx, Midtown, Pulley and Alexisonfire, as well as playing shows in three states with a wide range of Australian groups, including 28 Days, Bodyjar, Gyroscope, Blueline Medic, Parkway Drive, One Dollar Short, The Hot Lies, Something With Numbers and Area 7. In addition to this, the band reached number 2 on the overall MP3.com.au charts, and number 1 for both Alternative and Rock charts for the month of October, November, December, January and early February. This has all happened through Behind Crimson Eyes’ own efforts, which include designing and maintaining their website, promoting and booking shows, giving away of demos in the thousands for free and designing and producing their own merchandise.
