Red Ram

“it’s refreshing to hear a rock band like Red Ram that is about songs first and foremost, and uses technology to augment their sound – not the other way around” - Renato Pagnani, SEE Magazine, Edmonton, 2008 “flavoured with rock of the 80s-feeling electro variety, but the open, warm production and prevalence of good guitar keeps it from sounding inorganic – a good thing, because your girlfriend’s gonna play the hell out of it” - Rick Overwater, BeatRoute, Calgary, 2007 “(Stars Ablaze is)… l...

“it’s refreshing to hear a rock band like Red Ram that is about songs first and foremost, and uses technology to augment their sound – not the other way around” - Renato Pagnani, SEE Magazine, Edmonton, 2008 “flavoured with rock of the 80s-feeling electro variety, but the open, warm production and prevalence of good guitar keeps it from sounding inorganic – a good thing, because your girlfriend’s gonna play the hell out of it” - Rick Overwater, BeatRoute, Calgary, 2007 “(Stars Ablaze is)… loaded with canyon-deep grooves that provide plenty of winding twists and musical rapids throughout… while much of the disc makes it difficult to sit still when listening … songwriting frontman Mark Feduk can still reign things in when he wants, indulging in more than one note throughout the album and giving the music some legs to go the distance” - Eden Munro, Vue Magazine, Edmonton, 2007 “jumps and cross cuts between ‘90s alternative, heavy metal, and electronica-drenched guit-pop… Stars Ablaze manages to entertain and surprise at every turn” - Francois Marchand, The Edmonton Journal, 2006 Red Ram is all about great songs – strong melodies, rockin’ riffs, and catchy hooks are the backbone of this band. Blending electronic and organic sounds, creative arrangements, and a gritty rock and roll ethic – the band has honed its own innovative style. Since its origins as a studio project that served as an outlet for frontman Mark Feduk’s (The Uncas) unique songwriting, Red Ram has turned into a powerful touring act that has been rocking live audiences across Canada for over 4 years. The band has appeared with Danko Jones, The New Odds, and Gob among many other nationally recognized acts. Red Ram’s first album Stars Ablaze (2006) featured the single ‘Bad Bite’ which garnered radio play on various Canadian modern rock stations in 2007. The band gained commercial radio play almost instantly with radio play on modern rock and urban stations in Alberta, Ontario, British Columbia, Manitoba, and Nova Scotia. Before the debut album was even officially released, Red Ram was picked as Edmonton modern rock radio station Sonic 102.9's November 2006 band of the month, garnering over 100 local plays that month alone. In 2008 Red Ram unveiled an interim E.P. entitled Land of Dreams that featured five exciting new songs to be released on a future full length album. These songs picked up where the last had left off, revealing a more mature, developed rock sound. During this time the band has continued to tour, network and hone its live show. Early in 2009 Red Ram was happy to find out that it was a recipient of a Rawlco Radio 10K20 grant. This grant allowed the band the complete an all new full length album that is set to be released in the summer of 2010. The adventurous twelve song whirlwind of a disc is entitled Slip Away and it reflects the evolving sound of the band while maintaining its energy and spirit of innovation. 2010 promises to be a very exciting year for Red Ram with national tours in the works as well as the release of Slip Away and a coinciding music video. The timing is right for Red Ram to step onto the national and international stages in 2010 – the sky is definitely the limit for this world class modern rock act. Stars Ablaze and Land of Dreams are available for sale at stores across Canada and worldwide online through iTunes, www.cdbaby.com and www.redram.ca. Slip Away is set for international release in the summer of 2010.
