Reds-Is:Means

CD waking records 013

Listening to this, REDS sounds like a lot of bands. I hear a little TRAGEDY, a little SAINTE CATHERINES, and more than a spattering of the discordant screamo-core that was all the rage in the mid-90s. Yet just when I think I have them pegged as one of those bands, something else comes in to swing it another direction. The best I can come up with is a heavier, less spastic BOOKS LIE. That, my friends, is a good thing. (Jonathan Floyd)
