RED STiNGER is the epitome of existencial. Bred from humble punk rock beginnings, early metal rage, and hip-hop hysteria this intriguing foursome knows no limits to thier uncanny music. Maybe a style all their own, maybe just a blended brand of regurgitated music that somehow touched their soul. It’s not so easy trying to test the hands of time. Music is forever changing and will never be the same. Though somehow strangley through during the epidemic of our lives we all must make a choice…. to ROCK? or not to ROCK? What is your answer….

“Indie rockers have lately discovered what punk and electro kids have known all along: Moving your body is essential to enjoying live rock ‘n’ roll. The too-cool shoegazer days and slacker ‘90s taught us that disconnection is a virtue. No more. Whether you’re at a hardcore or a twee pop show, you have no excuse to stand there and sip your overpriced Miller Lite like a glass of champagne. Roughly half the audience at the Bluebird’s punk-hardcore show on Tuesday took this to heart. Death and the Lovers, Murder in Memphis, Suburban Hostage and Red Stinger united to pummel the young audience’s eardrums. That last band, in particular, seemed bent on whipping the crowd into a violent lather, and they nearly succeeded. Lanky lead singer/guitarist Tim-E didn’t hesitate to bark good-naturedly at sedentary audience members. “Grab a girl and dance, buddy!” he yelled at one. “All you people in the back, step up to the center!” he implored before launching into “Setup.” The muted verses and explosive choruses bordered on ska before hitting a full-on speed metal coda, courtesy of dexterous guitarist Frad. “Who’s to blame? Is it the president, your parents or the pope?” he shrieked to a small but devoted mosh pit churning before him. People chucked empty plastic cups on stage. They screamed and writhed. One overzealous fan even grabbed the bass player’s mic stand, prompting an angry bouncer to descend to the floor and yell at him. What do you expect? It’s punk rock.” |John Wenzel – The Denver Post ..
