Red Edmund make an impact from song #1(which is sample #1 below), a powerful pure pop blast that blends classic pop harmonies and bakes a bit of fluffy Elbow and Coldplay into the mix. In fact the band, mention one of these bands when they describe their sound - `If you were to take bands like Elbow, Ben Folds, Maroon 5 and The Cardigans and mix them all together, you would end up with aRed Edmund song`. Hmmm, that is pretty accurate but since we here in Not Lame land are pop purists and fans of many sub-genres of music genres, I have to add fans of Swedish power pop are going to find a lot of material to their strong liking as much of reminds me of the classic 90s bands like Beagle and The Merrymakers. Always going to be a grabber to these ears. "From first listen, there`s something riveting about Red Edmund frontman Cory Graddy`s flexible, floating and somewhat nasal delivery. It`s rich, uplifting, soaring, edging effortlessly into a beautiful, heavenly falsetto.. ten inspiring, thought-provoking, feel-good songs. There`s nothing extraneous here, no senseless guitar solos or overarching bass lines. The drums stay where they belong: behind the music, driving, but never overpowering. It`s timeless, really, as all good pop music should be: fully of the moment and current, yet lasting, appealing to a wide range of ages and social circles." - St. Louis Sound. This is Not Lamey all the way through and NOT TO BE MISSED!!
