REDS - is:means - LP [pain 0.13] |
Born in the spring of 2004, REDS brings together four
individuals with disparate backgrounds in a way that both creates tension
and finds harmony. Their individual roots are recognizable – traces
of rock 'n roll and a touch of poppiness amidst the frenzy of hardcore
– but find balance and unity within the songs. On their debut
full-length, "is:means", the songs fly along at furious speeds,
rarely letting up, and never losing their intensity. The lyrics, mostly
shouted and screamed but occasionally sung, strive to pointedly connect
the personal and political - showing clear anger and frustration yet
never letting go of positivity and optimism. Always on the verge of
falling into chaos, REDS manages to hold it all together and focus their
energy into a roaring collection of passion and fury.
