Mission Statement:
There is a point in which words can become obtrusive when composing, sometimes lyrics and vocals don't truly add to the sonic qualities of the music. This is an understanding that we have when we write our music. We create a soundscape for you to force your imagery upon. Once a song has an identity all to itself, then sometimes we will add some vocals, but not to the extent of verse-bridge-chorus, etc.

Sounds Like: "Red Room Cinema is a band of few words. But the stories it tells with its gracefully shifting rhythms and otherworldly guitar melodies soar beyond mere verbs and nouns. The plane may be going down on the cover of RRC's CD, but its music soars on in infinity." TBO.COM
