Red Sun Revival

Although it may not have been the longest post I've ever put up here, last week's discussion of Elizabeth Bathory required quite a bit of research and took me quite a while to complete. That said, I'm going to take it easy on myself by briefly discussing my latest band discovery and letting you watch and listen to one of their videos. 

Just a few days ago, I had just put on <A HREF="http://www.nightbreedradio.com/">Nightbreed Radio
when I heard a song that really caught my attention. As I usually do in such cases, I copied and pasted the artist's name into my Google search so that I wouldn't forget it. Then, when I was ready, I looked for their official website and checked out their few offerings that I could find on You Tube. I was impressed and I hope that you'll be too. 
Red Sun Revival describes itself as "an alternative/gothic rock band," which formed in London just two years ago. The group consists of vocalist and guitarist Rob Leydon, Matt Helm on guitar, Panos Theodoropoulos playing the bass and classically-trained Christina Emery on violin. The band's music also utilizes a generous amount of keyboards, but I'm not sure who the artist is behind those. It could easily be Christina however, as she used to play keyboards for an electronic group known as FutireFrentic. According to the group's official website they have recorded a demo album entitled Running From the Dawn, which is available on MP3 for download. 

This particular offering is entitled, My Child. I hope you'll like them as much as I do.

  3. I did like it and the video, too!

    I finally got around to watching The Cure link you sent me, and then started watching some Depeche Mode, and then various other bands that YouTube suggested I might enjoy. Next thing you know, it was two hours later and the house still wasn't dusted. ;o)

  4. OMG Insomniac! The house didn't get dusted? And to think that I'm the one responsible for causing such blatant neglect of the Gothic Mansion! Seriously though, I'm glad that you finally got to watch/listen to some of those videos.
