Stoke is normally a place where death-core seems to reign supreme in bands bar a few exceptions. Everything on Red are trying to be just that. Considering one of their members used to be in a death-core band called Drive Til December, I was intrigued to see how this new band would dynamically change and it seems to be a very schizophrenic one.

"Rotator" is alone a mixture of Blood Brothers, Enter Shikari, Blink 182, 30 Seconds To Mars and that scope does make it hard to get into at least on first listen. By the sixth track 'No fear: Static Year' it does seem to be calming down (with the addition of gang vocals) briefly and then it goes all crazy again near the end, but then calms down with the following track (which is actually my favourite).

Track 8 'It's not Rocket Surgery' then starts with hints of Turisas with the keyboard dance beat (I know this sounds weird but it does!) I have to give them credit for trying to do something different though but it feels like they’re trying to be 10 bands at once and to me it just comes across as too much.

Everything on Red will no doubt break out of Stoke (not a bad thing I assure you!) with their melodic nature so it shall be enjoyable to see where they go from here.
