Shades Of May has been played on NTS in shows including Crossed Wires w/ Amanda Siegel, featured first on 23 June 2023. Songs played include Distant Memories.

Duo formed by brothers Mark and Chris Reynolds. As teenagers, the brothers developed a love for the electronic dance sound best exemplified by the likes of Depeche Mode and OMD, and hit local stages under the name Shades of May.

In 1984 the duo scored an early coup when their song “Distant Memories” was included on 91X’s local music compilation, Local Heroes. A few years later they became Red Flag.
