The Armstrongs are native Pennsylvanians though.

These guys tend to release their albums in February but we'll have to wait longer than that for a 2017 album. Which is good, I hope they spend some extra time crafting to make an even stronger record.

They just released the End of Silence Deluxe Edition not too long ago, so I honestly wasn't expecting a new album until 2018

Yeah I wouldn't expect another album until next year. From what I understand it's going to be their last.

well at least that's good news, it's not 100% confirmed that it's going to be their last but we'll see.

It seems like their next album will be their last "album", and that they're going to be releasing individual song after song according to that statement.

Not entirely sure if the industry is going the direction Randy anticipates, but it may be that RED simply didn't find the star power needed to be truly sustainable. Perhaps on a related note, I always found it weird that RED's peers have had no trouble on the radio but charting success for these guys has been slim.

Red still has a lot of charting success though.



UWHF debuted at number 2 at the top 100 and topped a bunch of charts

Release the Panic debuted at 7 at the top 100

and this debuted at 14

Well I meant like singles and stuff. Radio airplay.

Red got a fair amount of radio airplay as well, particularly with UWHF (that album was almost inescapable on certain radio channels for a while)

Idk, their chart numbers are really few and far between. This is the part that always struck me as odd.

It's so interesting to hear that these bands even get air play and were "almost inescapable" on radio. In Canada, most of what they talked about in that article has pretty much happened. At least in Toronto and Calgary anyways. I remember hearing Chevelle on a London, ONT radio station once and thought it was the biggest deal in the world. If they play anything remotely edgy anymore, it's all old stuff like The Offspring, Nirvana, or Pearl Jam. I'm only 26 and I can already feel myself becoming a music curmudgeon.

While I was listening to Starset's new album I had the sudden urge to check this out again (considering Starset an electronic heavy version of Red to me) and I still think this is one of their strongest albums to date. I remember almost being afraid to listen to this after the atrocious RTP/Recalibrated.

Love those background additions of "so I can hurt you" by Barnes on What You Keep Alive.

I really, really don't want album #6 to be Red's last album. I hope it's not true.
