Artist description Music is not a competition to us; it is a chance to share in a feeling, an experience, an idea, a moment. Music is a good thing, maybe one of the best things. Listen to our music, listen to everyone's music, sing a song. That is all we can ask. - RM

Artist History The ground work for RM was started in May 2002, when John Tingley and Harvey 'kel' Kelley met for the first time. "We knew we had to work together!" Determined from day one to make this band be "The One", John and kel spent the next several months seeking the perfect lineup. In July 2002, Randy Sohn a long time friend of Johns from Idaho, packed up and relocated to Virginia to join RM in the form of a much needed Bassist. Finally, August 2002, Michael 'Moey G' Gaylor, was hired into RM filling the Percussion / Drum spot more than was ever even dreamed of. LINEUP COMPLETE!!! For the next five months many hours / nights were spent in the rehearsal studio writing material and learning each others styles, personalities, strengths and even weaknesses. In December 2002 RM hit the Hampton Roads, VA music scene determined to make an impression. And that is exactly what they did! Fast-forward to March 2003! RM spent time in the studio recording their first cd. Cue Studios in Falls Church, Va. has done a bang up job getting this thing sounding truly professional. Plans for a cd release party and to start touring again in May 2003 are in the works. But for now (April 2003) it's back to the studio for these guys! RM plans to emerge in April with plenty of new material, touched up old material, a finished and pressed cd and tons of merchandise!

Press Reviews "Red Metric's goal is simple: they want to play rock and enjoy it. This approach is lending the newly formed band to shape its sound the best way possible - slowly. Textured with lush guitar hooks, straightforward-rock inspired vocals and an aggressive bass line, Red Metric carries a complete sound, but leaves enough room for experimentation." www.JimBeam.com - 2002 B.E.A.M. grant recipient write-up ********************************************************************************************* "Brand new on the music scene. (A) mostly heavy/modern rock band that continues to challenge themselves with every aspect of their sound. Perfectionists that think a song they write is never finished because they are always trying to make it better. A band with solid talent in each member and who gel well together. With their first gig under their belt, look for this band to become regulars among the band circuit. Welcome to the club, guys!" www.varockbands.com - band write-up ********************************************************************************************* "We're going out on a limb here, but this is the best band without a cd that we've seen. Go check 'em out and keep bugging them to GET IN THE FREAKIN' STUDIO!!!" www.tidewaterrocks.com - band write-up
