Red Star Of The Solar Federation

About Me

Red Star of the Solar Federation began their rock and roll journey in the fall of 2005. The original lineup was Jimmy Carpenter on guitar, Brandon Beard on bass, and Chris Jenkins on drums. Stepping out of all "scenes" and "crews" was a defining move for the trio. Beginning as a sludge rock/jazz fusion instrumental band, the trio began to venture into traditional rock and roll. With the influence of friends and fans, Jimmy began to sing and the band had begun to crack out of its shell. Soon after a mass lineup change the Solarfed brought one new member into the band after just finishing their first full length album. Roy Martinez was the best addition since the band began. With influences from Jazz, Rock, Punk, and much more, the Solarfed began a new era of inspiration for the masses. With their self-titiled full length in press and plans for a EP in the summer of 07, Red Star of the Solar Federation has only just begun.
