RED, white, and blue!

Haha, the bitches in Canada must be SOOO pissed at us right now....eh? We walk into their house and lay the smackdown on their mounty asses. If they weren't so passive I'd honestly expect some form of retaliation.

Anywho, a band that has been a long time favorite of mine is RED. They're a Christian rock hard rock band, and my oh my are they good. Utilizing strings to accompany their heavy sound, RED creates a sound entirely their own, and shows how good mainstream rock can be if its not diluted and repetitive (I'm talking to you Saving Abel, Theory of a Deadman, and Nickelback).

The lead singer Barnes' has a scream that gets you pumped, while he can also sing a slow ballad with so much emotion that you can feel it in your core. RED is easily just as good as 90% of the crap you hear on today's modern rock radio, all the while maintaining a very original sound that most haven't heard before.

So it begins...

Alright this is how this is gonna work. About once a week, I'm gonna write a short blurb telling you people what music to listen to. I know exactly what I'm talking about, and you have no idea at all what YOU'RE talking about. Deal with it, this isn't 'Nam, there are rules.

In all seriousness though, I'm gonna recommend some good rock music that you all should give a listen to try to expand your mind. I'll be doing reviews sometimes of new stuff from my favorite bands as well as stuff you guys want me to review. Just send me an e-mail if you want me to include something your enjoying and if I think well enough of your opinion it might be a possibility (probably not). I'm also gonna use this blog to bitch about what retarded thing is causing me grief in my life. This will probably never be relevant to you. Yet this will tie in greatly with the type of music I'm digging at the moment, so bear with it.

See ya soon with my first update. Also, so you get an idea about what kind of rock music I like...NICKELBACK SUCKS.
