Current mood:  hopeful
After thoughtful deliberation, Dino Cuneo (aka 'studio stunt drummer extraordinaire') has decided to part ways with Red Star Revolt to focus on his primary project, Iambic Pulse.  Dino and his 4 pulsating appendages will be sorely missed and we wish him the very best.  Check out his latest project at myspace.com/iambicpulse.

In the meantime RSR is seeking a drummer to occupy the vacated throne.   If you're interested or know anyone who might be interested drop us a line!

Cheers,
RSR

Google translation of another European review...

Red Star Revolt is a trio that in 2007 in Denver, Colorado (USA) has established and I feel for their music is almost as strong as for the enthusiasm of The Mugg. Witzig is that both bands of three musical minds exist, although the musical direction is different. Have us The Mugg with Heavy Blues Rock serves, we get Red Star Revolt of modern rock with influences from the 70s Prog Both formations also have in common is that they are of Led Zeppelin inspired. But it was even with the similarities.
Already the first track, Dementia, is really fun and rocking from the speakers, you can also a little The Mars Volta to hear, however, RSR is less complex.  In the central part Clutch has introduced electronic gadgets, from Pink Floyd at the time of "Dark Side of The Moon" remember. In Prove Me Wrong come to me spontaneously Portugal The Man in the sense of the structure of the song is very similar to a track from their album "Church Mouth", which I really like.
The band themselves are too, except from those already mentioned, the following have been influenced band to be: Queens of the Stone Age, Muse, Incubus, The Police, Radiohead, Porcupine Tree, Tool, Rush, Opeth, A Perfect Circle, King Crimson, Yes, an many more.   Hm, here are some names like that I still do not know. One thing is for sure, YES I can not figure out their music heard!  Mainly for me is in the titles of Most At Desire, The Song Remains, FM (All Or Nothing, Sour, Them being close to Tool to hear what is certainly the famous bass runs and the game of the Drummers variable is also set the guitars beautiful accents. Otherwise appears here and there a little by Rush.
Hammond It is also interesting that it almost seamlessly in the next song Separation Of Soul dressed with pace continues. Light blues and quiet sounds Of Thorns June, however, provide vocals and guitars, as well as the later onset of percussions, for Gänsehaut showers.
organ sounds are in the ballad number All That She Could Have Been heard also a great e-guitar solo.
So, my dears, now I have said everything important. Except that the melodies, as in my info sheet to read, are extremely infectious, and that is exactly what I can confirm with a quiet conscience, and remain with the following words: Do you also infected with the flu virus, but with the music of RED STAR Revolt!

Another kooky Google translation from a German website...


The dusty concept progressive rock transported Red Star Revolt skillfully into the here and now and although the band from Denver, Colorado, by influences from the past 30 to 40 years of music history is processed, this sounds self-debut at 100% by 2008!
Imagine a mixture of The Mars Volta, Porcupine Tree and Tool that the whole thing with a few electronic gadgets garnished, is quite precisely the basic sound of Red Star Revolt. Since these bands are not exactly the same as an egg the other, the result in its entirety, even fairly independently failed, even though it has always been there parts which deuced to remember a band. In the course of the album will still name as Yes, King Crimson or Radiohead and Civil Defiance into the game, but the sound plays no torn or piecemeal. That Red Star Revolt in the best Rush tradition as a power trio music, the pieces can be life pleasing effect. The song stands at no time are holes and you really do not miss another instrument, as each musician pleasing many details without fitting the various pieces to dominate - that is true art!
The inputs will remain at all Progressiveness not fall by the wayside, the 13 songs are all kept more compact and modern painting does to the rest of the class very well produced album.
The one or the other right on track, perhaps lacking the vocal melodies and need some time to unfold, with the requisite quality you take but happy.  The next album, I'd like something more Red Star Revolt heard when the mixture of many other names. Perhaps a few more gripping and compelling melodies also the thing would be perfect. Nevertheless, this debut is a thoroughly convincing become what hunger to make more! Order you can get the plate at just for kicks.

Red Star Revolt's debut CD was selected as CD of the month at PlanetaRock.com  Below is a Google translation of the review...as with any online tranlation it's a little strange, but you get the gist...


Red Star Revolt  85%
Debut album of the young group originally from Denver, USA, formed by Aaron, Clutch and Dino, who by mid-2008 saw made his dream come true Red Star Revolt edit andalusia, andalusia power trio album namesake. As they themselves were responsible for comment, the board has marked influences of progressive rock experimental early 70s, like King Crimson and Pink Floyd, and present a more somber, as The Mars Volta and Porcupine Tree.
But as memories of not only living man, these mirrors adds share modern, indeed metalera, which allowed for an idea, flirts with bands like Incubus to Opeth, and make even more interesting and aggiornada at the time. Maybe I read that the Red Star Revolt do not belong in these times, and certainly were frozen for three decades and only now appeared, and maybe it will.
Already knew more or less covered the plate, and now wonder if it's worth it or not, and what are the songs, and I can only say that will raise dust. Many not only enjoy them, but fascinating. Of course, I'm not quite sure that fans of old school progressive rock will like this kind of conjunctions. For example, All She Could Have Been (big issue) is a typical theme Space Rock, very similar to Pink Floyd all the work.  Prove me wrong as the other has a very rhythmic as The Police, The Song Remaing appears then, that according to the title and then to start the topic I have no doubt that a clear and true, accurate tribute to Robert Plant and company. Do not miss, Great piece! Another part of it is outstanding, Dementia, a clear claim to The Dark Side of the Moon. Among the modernozas are Sour, Separation of Soul (reminded me a lot of his fellow Bumblefoot), and finally Them.
By the end I want to highlight the acoustics for June Thorns clear reminiscences of Peter Gabriel solo andalusia, andalusia conceptual and close the disc, Los Muertos, divided into five parts to the progressive end. Do not miss this work, not just worthwhile, but also remember all those who made the big gender.

Red Star Revolt's debut album has been my favorite CD for the last
month or so. The offer us a « macedoine » of rock style ranging from
classic hard rock, passing through psychedelic and light metal going to
progressive music. Their project possesses an encompassing rock aura.
Most pieces are of mid range length. The jacket cover reminds me of the
spirit of the political 60's and 70's were the « Reds of China » were
both seen as a menace or as an inspiration on universities campuses
depending on your side of the ideological divide. Mao little Red Book
was a must read in those days. I remember that it positioned art in a
radical manner. Art in itself was nothing, only art as a political
weapon counted. Those were the days… Now China is one of the keys
capitalist players on the planet. To resume my impression, I like very
much this cover, and I've found the production to be excellent.
This very good trio from Denver Colorado is performing well, and I'm not tiring of listening to their songs quite the contrary. Aaron Nava (bass, vocals, keyboards) and Clutch (guitars, keyboards) are the composers of the band and Dino Cuneo is the very apt drummer. Overall, the musicianship is interesting, and they show great promises for the future. My only reservation is the
singing, not that its bad, but at times, it doesn't shine as brightly as the rest of this truly good effort. However, sometimes, a singer's voice is an acquired taste…
“Dementia” begins this CD on a progressive note. It creates immediately a great ambiance.

“At Most Desire” is in the wake of recent PT albums. It is also a good heavy prog song to my ears.

“The Song Remains” has made me think immediately of the hard rock of Led Zeppelin (Does it mimic The Song Remains The Same more than in words? This is certainly not a coincidence…) and of many others after them. It is a success in my view, a fun song to listen to. The guitar in particular and the rhythm are « time warping » me.

“Prove Me Wrong” continues in hard rock country. A perfect classic rock tune and another case of « déjà vu », but aptly executed, it is another fun beat, great for parties.

“FM (All or Nothing)” with this song, they made me think of the Pineapple Thieves and other current prog bands. It is a kind of heavy ballad with pop accent. This is certainly another great tune, and in my view one of the best here.

“Sour” returns to a more rock universe, but this time it is grunge that came to my mind, like Soundgarden or Stone Temple Pilots. Maybe, it’s the guitar with the voice that made me think this. Anyway, it is punchy and very good.

“All She Could Have Been” is a classic rock ballad with blues undercurrents.

“Separation of Soul” sounded like early prog (Greenslade?), and flies very well.

“Thorns for June” is a quiet tune, like a pause in the musical storm. It is a fine mix of prog and pop.

“More Than It's Worth” is in continuity with the grunge sound of Sour and “Them” cruses on the same waters.  Very interesting beat indeed.

“Wired” is a space rock sounding tune with accent of classic hard rock. It is another of my favorite on this CD. Ah, and it made me think of The Divine Baze Orchestra or Fungus.

“Los Muertos” is for me the most interesting tune and the most retro sounding one, very like early prog. It is a great song the finish this excellent project.

I give this CD my highest recommendations. If you like hard rock, grunge or the so-called heavy prog you’ll love this CD.

-Michael F.

Red Star Revolt

Review by Gary Hill

"This
definitely isn’t your Father’s progressive rock. Nor is it the next
Dream Theater. This group is probably closer to Radiohead, but that
isn’t even in the same ball park. I can certainly see someone arguing
that they aren’t progressive rock at all, but I’d disagree.....
 This is
interesting music......."


........
Track by Track Review
Dementia
A
cool keyboard intro makes you think you are about to launch out into a
Hawkwind type piece. Instead they power out into a thrashy, punky sort
of jam for the first vocals. This drops way down to a mellow, stripped
down arrangement after a time. They work back out into the song proper
and then launch out into a series of changes and alterations. A little
before the three minute mark there’s a return to the Hawkwind-like
sounds for a longer segment. After a time we are taken back into the
song proper and carry on from there. ....
At Most Desire
....A cool hard edged riff, feeling a bit like a more metallic Jethro Tull to me – starts this off and holds it for a time.  It
is reworked into a new prog jam as they carry on. When it drops to the
stripped down jam for the verse that riff again holds things down. This
reminds me a bit of Dream Theater. We get a cool, almost alternative
rock segment later with waves of textures dancing over the top as the
bass swims below.
The Song Remains
....Fast
paced and bouncy, this comes in rather like something from Led
Zeppelin’s third disc. Considering the title of the song the Zep
influences are probably intended. Eventually they are capped off with a
more typical type of sound from these guys. I love the fade in aspect
of the vocals – kind of like the girl in the TV in Poltergeist.
There’s an almost reggae feeling to this. This is without question one
of the least proggy numbers on show here, but they still manage to
include some more progressive rock oriented moments in the mix. I like
the mellower section that comes in later. This again has a lot of
Zeppelin in the mix. I also hear some Doors at times here and there’s
definitely some Hawkwind in the mix on some of the spacier stuff. 
Prove Me Wrong
....This
is one of the least proggy pieces on show. It’s a hard rocking with a
great rubbery groove, but not really progressive rock. 
fm (All or Nothing)
....A
dramatic and mysterious mellower segment starts this. They power out to
harder rock as they carry on. From there they move it out to more pure
neo-prog sounding section. This is one of the most dynamic pieces on
show. They take it through a series of different sections, yet the
drama seems ever present. The guitar solo on this is quite tasty. 
Sour
....They
fire out as a total alternative rock jam, but then drop back to this
weird (but incredibly cool) psychedelia meets prog rock motif. This is
alternated with the hard edged groove as they continue. This is an
incredible piece of music and possibly my favorite on the CD. There’s a
bit of a drum solo at the end. 
All She Could Have Been
....Slow
and melodic, this has a bluesy sort of texture to it. Keys come in and
bring an almost Jellyfish like element to play. This eventually segues
straight into the next number. 
Separation of Soul
....With
an atmospheric musical texture with sound effects over the top, this
starts off like Pink Floyd. It eventually moves out to a crunchy
neo-prog jam with a hint of The Cramps. Those who question these guys
being prog should really check out this tune. It has all the elements
of great neo-prog and seems to be constantly changing and altering.
It’s another candidate for best of the disc. 
Thorns for June
....This
is an intricate and involved track that’s both psychedelic and prog.
It’s essentially an acoustic guitar based track and parts of it
definitely remind me of very early Hawkwind – think the first album. 
More Than It's Worth
....Here’s
another hard rocker that’s got a lot of neo-prog in the mix. This works
through a number of changes and alterations and is pretty cool. 
Them
....Combine
a modern alternative rock sound with classic rock hooks and some cool
psychedelic based proggy music and you’ve got a good idea of what this
sounds like. There’s some exceptionally tasty guitar soloing on this
one. 
Wired
....This
cruncher rocker isn’t very prog rock and it’s also just sort of average
– at least for the first part. They take this out into some killer
instrumental territory that’s more proggy. That section closes the
piece in style.
Los Muertos
....This
instrumental is very much in the neo-prog mode, but it’s also
incredibly cool. It moves from one section to another throughout and is
both one of the most dynamic pieces here and one of the best. That
makes it an excellent choice to close things.
