About Redbelly

Born from the ashes of Melidian, Eddie Wohl and Kirk Henry originally formed the band "Redbelly" under the code name of the Halibut Steak Theory. The band was then signed to EastWest/Elektra by Rock Candy's own Derek Oliver, at the time working in A&R for the label in New York. Redbelly (vocalist Kirk Henry, guitarists Eddie Wohl and Damon LaScot, bassist James Buhre "James Fury" and drummer Edward Wurzburg) were a completely different beast to Melidian, a band very much immersed in the grunge scene that had transformed the early to mid 90s. The self-titled album, released in 1995, is very much akin to Stone Temple Pilots and Soundgarden musically. The album was recorded at London Bridge Studios in Seattle and produced by Kelly Gray. Eddie later signed a deal with Island, with another band Vibrosoul (named by Eddie's long-time friend Kara Dioguardi, now a hugely successful songwriter), but sadly, due to company politics, no material was released, although the band did tour with the likes of Econoline Crush. Since the demise of Redbelly and Vibrosoul Eddie has immersed himself far more in music production. He has been the president of Scrap 60 Productions since 1999 and has worked on a whole host of projects, mainly in the nu-metal field, such as Il Nino, Bitterness The Star, Primer 55 and actress Jada Pinkett-Smith’s group Wicked Wisdom, but also Cradle Of Filth, Anthrax and a band featuring Kirk Henry on drums called Pepperfarm. Eddie later re-gained an interest in being in a band and is formed a group project called World Fire Brigade that draws from influences such as Fuel, Filter (both acts he has worked with) and Stone Temple Pilots.
