Red was officially formed by guitarist Anthony Armstrong, his bassist
identical twin brother Randy Armstrong, lead vocalist Michael Barnes, and
guitarist Jasen Rauch. According to the End of Silence album booklet, Rauch
is the band’s primary composer. Enlisting the talents of Grammy-nominated and
Dove award-winning rock producer, Rob Graves, Red signed a development
contract with Graves’ independent production company. After recording several
demo songs, the band was quickly signed by Sony BMG imprint, Essential
Records. Andrew Hendrix parted ways with the band and after an extended
search, the band chose Hayden Lamb (twin brother of former Paramore
guitarist, Hunter Lamb) as his replacement on drums. As a result of his
successful early work with Red, Graves was chosen to produce the band’s debut
album End of Silence.
When asked if they are a “Christian band,” Anthony Armstrong states, “We
always like to call ourselves a Christian band because that抯 what we are. If
they ask us if we抮e a Christian band, we tell them yes. And if they ask us
why, we tell them why.”
The band is well known for their fiery live shows, performing an impressive
1000+ concerts since End of Silence was released. They played alongside bands
such as Flyleaf, Skillet, Thousand Foot Krutch, Kutless, and Pillar, as well
as mainstream rockers Chevelle, Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace, Seether,
Papa Roach, Staind, Puddle of Mudd, and many more. They have sold more than
600,000 copies of End of Silence, and Innocence And Instinct combined.

The band’s debut album End of Silence was released in 2006, and was nominated
for a Grammy Award in the category of Best Rock Gospel Album at the 49th
Grammy Awards.
The album’s first single, “Breathe Into Me,” peaked at #15 on the U.S.
Mainstream Rock chart and won the “Rock Recorded Song of the Year” award at
the 38th annual GMA Dove Awards in 2007. The music video is set to
photographs in a film lab, where the band plays. “Breathe Into Me” also broke
the top ten on Active Rock charts.
On November 27, 2007, Red’s van and trailer crashed on Interstate 24. There
was major damage to the vehicles involved, and former drummer Hayden Lamb
suffered injuries to his shoulder that forced him to sit out on their
headlining tour.
Red was voted for the best rock recorded song 揕ost?at the 40th Annual GMA
Dove Awards.
The song “Let Go” was featured in the Activision video game Baja 1000. The
song “Pieces” was featured in the trailer for The Blind Side.

The band’s newest album, Innocence & Instinct, was released on February 10,
2009 and debuted on the Billboard 200 chart at #15 selling 39,000 copies in
its first week. The album peaked higher on the charts than the band’s
previous album and has received overwhelmingly positive reviews from critics.
The album also peaked at #5 in its first week of release on iTunes overall
top albums chart. The album features 10 songs, including the first rock radio
single, “Death Of Me”. The Deluxe Edition was released the same day,
featuring 4 additional tracks: Including “Forever”, the “Death of Me” music
video, photo gallery and a behind-the-scenes “Making of Innocence & Instinct”
video documentary. The track “Shadows” was co-written by Breaking Benjamin
guitarist/vocalist Ben Burnley.
Red made Radio & Records history as the first band in Christian rock history
to have a song debut at #1 when the band’s single “Fight Inside” was released
in November 2008.
The album was inspired by a car crash involving the band where their van and
trailer of gear were rolled over on a highway. Lamb was injured in the crash,
leading to his departure from the band. Lamb was replaced with Joe Rickard; a
friend and drum tech of Lamb’s who was looking for another band to play in
after leaving his previous group The Wedding. Rickard was only a touring and
studio drummer up to this point in his career with Red, but was recently made
an official member of the band.
The meaning behind Red’s video, “Death of Me”, is explained by Randy in an
interview with NewReleaseTuesday.com: “We used (the) twins (and a double of
vocalist Michael Barnes) to symbolize two opposing forces in the video,
‘Death of Me.’ In it, we see the positive side of things being chased by the
negative side of things, and in the end there抯 a battle. The battle doesn抰
seem to resolve itself in the video. That抯 because we will face struggles in
our lives, even though we do find resolve in certain situations.”
Red unveiled their new site on September 24 which they will now use as their
main hub in connecting with the fans. Coinciding with the release of their
new site, Red released the music video for their new single, “Forever”, which
was made using clips from their tour much like the video for “Let Go.” Soon
after the band announced in a podcast on Kyte.com that Joe is a member of Red
and Hayden will not be returning due to the injuries sustained from the car
crash. Red also announced soon after that Jasen Rauch will not be a touring
member of the band anymore due to needing to spend more time with his family.
Rauch will still be part of Red and will continue to write for Red as well.
There will be no replacement.
The band embarked on tour with Saving Abel, Pop Evil, and Taddy Porter on the
Class of 2009 Tour. On their website the band announced that they will be
touring with Pillar and The Wedding on their new tour “Nothing and
Everything” Tour which started in January 2010. In March the band toured with
Breaking Benjamin, Thousand Foot Krutch and Chevelle.
The band has announced an April and May tour with Skillet and The Letter
Black which will be called the Awake and Alive Tour part two; a continuation
of Skillet’s headlining 2009 tour.
Red won “Rock Album Of The Year” for Innocence & Instinct at the 2010 Dove
Awards. Their music video for Ordinary World came out on July 6, 2010 on
iTunes. They are scheduled to open up a few dates of Creed’s 2010 summer
tour. They are also scheduled to headline a few dates with 12 Stones starting
July 13. Red recently announced their second leg part of their Nothing and
Everything Tour featuring Disciple, Brian Welch, and Silverline. The tour is
mainly going to be in the west coast, starting October 28.

The group recently finished work on their third studio album, Until We Have
Faces, which is due for release on February 1, 2011. The band released a
teaser video on Facebook via Youtube which featured the band name on a sheet
of parchment, which burned away, revealing the album title. Vocalist Michael
Barnes stated on his facebook page that the new album will be produced by Rob
Graves, who also produced the first two albums. A picture was recently posted
on producer Rob Graves’s Twitter account showing three guitars with tape on
them showing tunings of A#, A, and G#, which hints that this record may be
heavier than the previous two. Also, videos are displayed from the making of
the record on RED’s Youtube, Facebook, and website. Christian Book
Distributors released a partial track listing on their official website. As
part of the preliminary hype for the album, RED asked fans to send photos of
their faces to the band. On December 9, codes were given to all fans that
sent in pictures of their faces to download an MP3 for the song Feed the
Machine. On January 6, the new Red website has been unveiled. The fan photos
were used to create a mosaic poster.
