Top Marx for Rockers

Red is quickly becoming a phenomenon, and if early reviews of Innocence and Instinct are indicative of the CD's promise it should be a worthy follow-up to Red's stellar debut End of Silence.

For the uninitiated, Red is unlike anything you've heard before, a metal band with catchy melodies, electronic flourishes and powerful vocals that range from beautiful intonations to emotional screams.

They've had a relentless tour schedule that has included dates with Papa Roach, Three Days Grace, Flyleaf, Puddle of Mudd, Kutless, Seether and Staind that has helped Red reach a wider audience.

The new CD promises collaborations with 80s crooner Richard Marx (!) and a cover of Duran Duran's "Ordinary World"! It should be a wild ride.
