Meet… Red Head Redemption
They call their music “unapologetic alternative rock.” The Asbury Park band known as Red Head Redemption says they’re “loud, bold and built to keep the crowd moving. With crunchy guitar riffs, punchy drums, and a lead singer who thrives on chaos and charisma, they blend decades of rock attitude into a fresh, high-energy sound.”
One view of “Got Me Good” was enough to convince this reporter that they’re the real deal. And we love the baseball premise of the video as we’re all yearning for Opening Day already.
With their Fatal Femme EP just out, we asked the band about its writing process. Lead singer Kimberly Modica responded, “We typically start with a punchy riff by our guitarist Phil. We then take the time to hear and jam on it together a few times, identifying the parts and different ear candy we want throughout. Ken and Chris are really skilled in finding space between and filling it with impactful bends and twists. We tackle vocals and lyrics come last. Lyrics being last helps prevent us from boxing ourselves in. Usually when I hear the song, I feel out what the song is going to be about pretty immediately, but rarely do I cement any words until the entire thing is built. This is true for all three songs on the new EP."
Bassist Ken Rapas. "On Fatal Femme, we showcase a complex character arc of a femme fatale who meets a spy, falls madly in love, betrays him, and then yearns and pleads for his ghost to rise again. We can’t wait to tell the full story and bring this character to life who so much encapsulates our attitude towards music: risk-taking and wild passion."
