Red September

If it's too loud, it's a start!!

About Me

RED SEPTEMBER songs are like days in a life. Just as some days are fast, others are slow. Some are light and humorous, others serious and sober. Since a life cannot be judged by just one day, Red September is a band that resists being pinned down by any single style.
Songwriter Peter Schorn's unique take on the world (fueled by caffeine and annoyance) creates songs that vary in tone from being a sympathetic friend to being the loud guy at the end of the bar yelling about how the world is going to hell (and is he the only one noticing?) to anyone in earshot.
Combined with a commitment to powerhouse live performance and a desire to make the music world safe once again for the honest, hard-working, self-indulgent guitar solo, Red September fuses intelligent lyrics, pop sensibility and a cynical attitude into a swirling wall of sound & fury that is familiar, yet indescribable.
Is it possible to change the world AND still have some fun? Red September intends to find out!
