A few weeks ago I went to a concert at the Bell County Expo center. The list of headline bands were amazing, Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace and Seether.
The most amazing band of the entire concert though was none of the above, it was Red. The guys are known as a “rock gospel” band, but believe me, it was nothing short of amazing. Hell, if you were to come up to me after the concert and tell me they were a rock gospel band I would have spit in your face and called you a jackass — they were that amazing.
Leading up to the concert I wasn’t expecting much. I have heard a few of their songs on Yahoo Launchcast as well as a few on the local radio station leading up to the concert, but nothing could have prepared me for what I was about to experience. Of course, knowing they were the lead band, it was expected even more that their music was only going to be subpar.
When the boys took the stage, immediately the crowd was screaming. The guitar work was out of this world. The guys slamming guitar strings, beating the shit out of the drums and singing their heart out. Damn was it fantastic. In fact, so fantastic I can’t find words to describe it.
What made it even sweeter was after they left the stage. Throughout the rest of the concert they sat in the back selling their album for half-price, shaking the hands of every person and signing every CD sold. They were a class act and nothing short of making the entire concert well worth the money.
Although the other bands weren’t as great, they are not unforgettable. Seether did their thing, Breaking Benjamin was above average, but a let down as I thought they were going to own the concert and heading it off with Three Days Grace. Three Days Grace was just as great as Red, except with much more time on stage. They rocked, hard.
