Press Reviews Red Planet is a relatively new band in this little scene of ours (Boston, MA)who list among there influences Buffalo Tom, Sugar, Joe Jackson, The Who and Tool. While I don't hear the latter two on this disc, Red Planet serves up eight songs of guitar driven pop, pure and simple. "Cool" is very reminiscent of Monster-era REM, with a very catchy chorus melody. Other standout songs include the Ramones-meets-Meatloaf rocker "Selfish," the sensitive college band ballad "End this way" and the irresistably hooky "Safety Harness." by Joel Simches (The Noise) Red Planet cranks up the volume on this well-played hard rockin' disc. Although the title would suggest that there may be a hint of blues here, think again. Red Planet is a fiery band of rockers that find the combination of a Marshal amp and Les Paul just fine and dandy...thank you. Singer John Mello, guitarist Don Woodward, bassist Ellis Telford, and Drummer Jorge Muldanado rock with firece abandon on Astronaut Blues making them a band to be reckoned with. Awesome songwriting, a tight performance and chilling muscian ship is synonmous with Red Planet, a band destined for great things! by Doug Sloan (The Metronome)

Additional Info Red is currently seeking a new drummer as of 10/5/99, please contact us if you are in the local Boston area and interested. Thanks for all the support!
