“Can’t Find Me” is the first single from Red Giant’s highly anticipated EP “Red Giant – Vol. 1” released Wednesday April 29th. The EP is now available topre-order HERE.
Dave Simpson is the lead guitarist and vocalist of Red Giant. He also has a massive following on his popular guitar YouTube Channel with has over 146,000 subscribers.
“Can’t Find Me” charts Dave’s complex journey through his hell of mental problems caused by an uncaring school system which paradoxically encouraged the very bullying the authorities said they wanted to eradicate.
These so-called child guardians became part of the abuse by blaming the victim and ignoring the actions of the culprits.
The lack of support, and in many cases, due to the inadequacy of the guardians involved, created a feeling of isolation, exclusion and of being ignored and unseen by those whose responsibility it was to look out for him.
His self-worth and respect were destroyed and not feeling able to confide in family or friends led Dave to thoughts of self-harm, a path others in his situation have taken, resulting in the ultimate release from their suffering by taking their own lives.
With Red Giant, Dave’s willingness, and ability to talk and write songs about this painful subject has resonated with so many who find comfort, release, and resolution in his words.
“Can’t Find Me” is the story of so many people, and it is the hope of Red Giant that this song reaches who it needs to and shows them that they are not alone, and being here is so much better than the other choices.

RED GIANT – BIOGRAPHY
Lead songwriter, guitarist and vocalist, David Simpson first picked up the guitar at 16 years old. Since that time David has been a prominent performer in several bands over the years and co-founded Red Giant at the beginning of 2024.
David decided after years of playing in other bands it was time to follow his own musical style. The music he was writing did not fit the bands he was playing with, and he soon set up his own group, The Dave Simpson Trio.
The trio performed all over the UK for years and was a very established blues rock band, but in 2024 the band wanted a change. Not just in name but in style, opting for a heavier rockier approach to go along with the new songs David was writing.
Red Giant was born. Not long after the name change the band went into the studio to record their self-titled debut album.
David is a world-renowned YouTube presenter with a channel that has amassed over 146,000 subscribers due to his unique playing style and expertise on the instrument.
David has been incredibly open about his struggles with mental health, and his blunt openness has helped countless others deal with their personal traumas. David’s work ethic is outstanding, tirelessly working on songs and videos while also performing and collaborating with other musicians.
John Joe Gaskin, the drummer for Red Giant, also started playing drums at the age of sixteen. As soon as he found the drums he wanted to do nothing else. He’s dedicated his life to the instrument.
John Joe is an absolute powerhouse of a drummer with a supernatural sense of time and is the bedrock of the band. Widely known as a dynamic and versatile performer, playing nationwide in the UK and Europe John Joe is comfortable with any style of music.
John Joe not only performs his duties as the drummer of Red Giant but is also the joker of the band with his wicked sense of humour who keeps everyone laughing.
