Voting Home / Red Rapture
Nominated for: BEST Local Bands
Its the first of the year. its cold. the shrub is dying and the volcano is about to erupt. caught, then escaped, jerm hails victory over the shrub as profane reasons with the volcano. They meet back at the super secret hiding place just off shore of cuba 500 meters underwater. Red Rapture is born...Thats how it started. This is what the Press thinks.. The best way to describe Red Rapture is a post-rock band with a highly skilled MC over top. This may sound like an impossible combination, but somehow they pull it off. Guitarist Jeremy also programs beats and electronic additions as the foundation for their songs. On top of this foundation are his guitar parts, which include distorted wails to soaring solos to simple pretty moments. As I said, post-rock -- lots of rising and falling. Jeremy cites Bjork as an influence on their web page, and as the main songwriter this is very apparent. Finally, over top like the cherry on a sundae are Andre's fluid spitfire raps. Even as a rock group, his technique should get real recognition in the growing Seattle hip-hop scene.
