About Me

Order Red Stars Parade - 'Disko' - 9.00 (inc p+p)"...with just one spin of this stunning debut later, and you'll realise just how redundant words are with a
band like this... it's highly unlikely that any amount of explanation or insight could account for 'Disko's
brink-of-the-abyss onslaught without selling it short." (Kerrang - KKKK)"You need something heavy yet ethereal, crushing notes lighter than the fetid air. You need long songs
that soothe and shred in equal measure, a singer's voice piercing yet beautiful in its desire to soar
higher and higher... because this is music that is all about capturing one dark moment.
You need Red Stars Parade." (Rock Sound)"...a highly engaging record... RSP are moody, far from shallow, and affecting if you let them in.
Which, rest assured, is not hard." (Terrorizer)"With so many epic bands spending too much time shoe-gazing and building up to the noise,
thank god for RSP who arrive at the point with little delay." (Zero Tolerance)"RSP are unequivocally a speaker-torching metal band... but the subtlety, musical literacy,
and savvy that inform 'Disko' make that label all but redundant... Red Stars Parade: our
city's great little secret." (Leeds Guide)"...what some people are calling the best band in the country at the moment in terms of sheer
legwork and guts as well as having some of the most strikingly delivered songs the UK
underground has heard in a long while." (ninehertz.co.uk)"...there is an almost totally pure, diamond hardness about this entire album...
for a debut full-length release, this is stunning stuff." (collective-zine.co.uk)"Bands like this only come around once in a very long while, and for all the expectations,
the album delivers and then some... With 5 months to go to the end of 2005, this is
most likely my choice for album of the year." (rawnervepromotions.co.uk)Also available Among The Missing/Red Stars Parade 7"
4.00 (inc p+p)1. 'Rage/Pain (Sack of Death)'
2. 'Solomon Soz'* Released by Christmas Eve Records (2004)* Only 500 copies pressed

Student Guru - September '06 (Disko - bit late, eh?)

"This album should come with a health warning, as it's not for the faint hearted. This is aggressive metal at its most intense. The drums pound, the bass thunders, the guitars are like chainsaws on yo...

Zero Tolerance - November '05 (Disko)

"Live, Red Stars Parade are always pretty special, if only for their colossal backline and immense sound. How this could or would transfer to recorded output seemed a challenge, although Dave Chang is...
