Vendetta Red

I really really really do not like emo/hardcore music. Its pretty simple, i think its really winy and annoying. That being said, i really like Vendetta Red. The reason that i set bands like Vendetta Red and The Blood Brothers aside from the usual crap that the emo/goth 14 year old girls in skinny jeans and heads listen to is this, originality. Screamo/punk/emo/mud doesn't have a original bone in its body, it is comprised of ripping of all types of loud music and i can't stand it, i honestly would rather listen to country or even...the new Sufjan Stevens album he ha!
But this isn't a tire raid against today's 13 year old bubblegum bands, its about a band that gets lumped into the same degenerate ditch as these abominations...Vendetta Red is really a standard.

Formed in Seattle in 1998, Vendetta Red grew in popularity until its untimely demise in 2006. Their music is a mixture of violent high voltage loud! Their music is actually quite good, they mix in the occasional scream with roaring guitars and thumping drums. The lead singer Zach Davidson, has one of the most unique and straight up beautiful voices I've ever heard. Their songs are lyrically genius and usually narrate crazy stories.
I unfortunately never got to see them live, but if they ever reunite, then i will definitely be selling organs to go.

  1. I like Vendetta Red. I remember showing the video for Silhouette Serenade in my Video I class and you told me that they were from your hometown.
