Really Red

Really Red was an American hardcore punk band formed in Houston, Texas in the late 1970's. Its members were Ronald "U-Ron" Bond, Vocals; Kelly "Green" Younger, Guitar; Bob Weber, Drums; and John Paul Williams, Bass Guitar. Really Red may not qualify for most beloved or dearly remembered early Texas punk band, but they were certainly one of the best in many respects. The band's sound evolved — unmistakable but ever-changing — with every release, and the law of diminishing returns never applied. They managed to be political without being heavy-handed or tiresome.
