There are several artists using this name: Red (USA) (often typeset as R3D) is an American alternative band formed in Nashville, Tennessee in 2004. Musically influenced by artists such as Linkin Park, Chevelle, and Muse, Red's style is the rare symphonic rock which blends guitars and strings with passionate vocals.

According to lead vocalist Mike Barnes, Red stands for the blood of Christ and what it represents: passion, pain, but ultimately, redemption.

Circle Takes the Square

Circle Takes the Square (often abbreviated CTTS) is a band from Savannah, Georgia, USA. The band formed in 2001 as a four-piece and after their first two releases they lost a guitarist but gained another in late 2004. What listeners tend to notice first about the band is the loud screaming of both male and female vocals that often function in a kind of call and response. Skillful, chaotic drumming coupled with intense, highly technical bass/guitar work have served to separate the band from most others in the screamo genre.

Robotosaurus

February 8 2007: The trashy nightclub had sold out hours before hand. The supports have been and gone. The lights were dim and there was a hum amongst the crowd. Friends had been talking about the first show for well over a year. The anticipation was swelling as people were jostling for position. When the first stomach-churning chord rung out there was no denying things would be different from that point on.

Evisorax

In this two-tier death metal underground we've inherited through the ill-advised, drunken fumble of Cryptopsy against the MySpace server, lines are quickly being drawn between the 'true' and the 'false', the real metallers with their XXL and cargo pants and the clueless chancers with their shrunken grind t-shirts and obstructive sweeps. Rare is the band who will combine the furious, pummelling immediacy of bands like Suicide Silence, All Out War and See You Next Tuesday with the songwriting, values and guaranteed longevity of Napalm Death, Origin and Nasum.
