ABOUT THE BANDS, Red This Ever and 11 Grams
Synthrockers Red This Ever have been described as “the coolest triangular peg to fit in a square hole.” Their vast influences have made them hard to define, their love of music makes them intoxicating, and their tongue-in-cheek performances makes them a blast. Chain D.L.K. gushed about Red This Ever’s new album, Attack: “This is big, bodacious, balls-of-brass synthpop that isn’t afraid to put it all on the line, get in your face, and tell you how they think it is. And dance worthy to boot.” Watch Red This Ever’s new video, Sound of the Walking Dead.
11 Grams is a futurist-inspired musical partnership between Simeon Fitzpatrick of Project K11 in Australia and Rob Early of Retrogramme in the United States. Spill Magazine says, “With their debut album ‘Panacea,’ the duo have created an addictive Industrial/EBM style with catchy bass riffs, complex melodies, and precise high-tech musicianship that convey their vision of the future with a nod to the past.” Check out 11 Grams’ new video for Machine Malfunction.
