notes
We are Low Red Land. We are a three piece from San Francisco, CA, made up of Ben Thorne on bass and vocals, Neil Thompson on guitar and vocals, and Mark DeVito on drums. We all met in college in upstate New York and played a lot in crappy houses in and around Franklin Springs. We moved on to Boston for a few years and played in a four piece band that had very mild success. The fourth member of the band chose to go back to school, Mark messed up his back shovelling snow, and we decided to move to California. We got here in July of 2005. Since arriving the city has been very inspirational. Our music has grown at an incredible rate, and we are all much happier with what we are playing. Moving away from our homes, families, and jobs also made us very tight, which has carried over to our music. We couldn't be happier with our music and our decision to pursue rock and roll as a lifestyle.
We get frustrated trying to describe our sound. That is pretty common among bands playing original music. We strive to sound like nothing but Low Red Land, and we think we do a good job of it. One of our bios says something about us being an explosive rock trio with heart-felt lyrics and precise dynamic changes. It also says that we don't like band bios because they're written by people too close to the music. There are too many comparisons made, too many big words used, and too much effort taken to sound unique. Our ideal band bio would read, "Come see us play a show. We are awesome."
We recently completed our first national tour, playing thirty-five shows over seven weeks. It was a great experience for us as a band. We played some great shows, learned a lot about our music, and met some fantastic people. The most inspiring part of the tour was finding good people all over the country. We are currently gearing up to hit the road again.
Please check out our music. If you can make it to a live show you should. We play real hard, and we're all pretty nice guys.
Hopefully we'll see you soon.
Love,
Low Red Land

Excellent, original music!
author: KnuckleI got this CD quite a while ago, but I still play it everyday in my car and mini studio. The guys are right-- you can't describe their music in a just few words. The vocals are rough around the edges, the guitars range from clean to fuzzy, the bass glides all over the place, and the drums lock everything down. Combine all of that with thoughtful lyrics, and you've got yourself a sound that you won't hear anywhere else. "Dreams..." and "Elijah's Church" will pump you up. "Silver Circuits" and "You're Alive" will drop you. "Beating" makes me wish I was at a hole-in-the-wall bar with good friends. The music definitely will move you. This is straight-up, no-frills rock. Check it out. You won't be disappointed.
