RED METRIC was conceived in the spring of 2002 by a group of ambitious rockers
dedicated to writing, recording and performing their music professionally the world over. Red Metric has developed a solid reputation as a relentless rock band that sacrifices
body and soul for the live show every night. Live performances characterized by extraordinarily high intensity and exhausting showmanship, coupled with a tireless commitment to national touring, have propelled Red Metric to the brink of a national breakout.
Red Metric draws inspiration from rock acts like Tool, Chevelle, A Perfect Circle, Breaking Benjamin, Trapt, Incubus, Audioslave, Sevendust, Tantric,
Strata, Foo Fighters etc.
