Memetic melodic progressive rock driven by killer percussion, a strong crunchy strat sound, distinctly un-foofoo vocals, accessible slightly twisted lyrics, a wide variety of synth keyboards accenting the tune structure, these ten orginal songs are played
Bio / Background
ReDUX band is a Pacific Northwest rock group known for their great energy and taste in rock, soul and funk.
Lead singer Beth Schramer has been belting out rock vocals since she was a teenager, although in the 70's, it was difficult for a young woman to front a rock band unless she was willing to cover girl group type songs. Beth just wanted to rock. Her vocal stylings were influenced by singers like Cream's Jack Bruce, David Bowie and Steve Winwood. She belts it out from her heart and her toes.
Guitarist Paul Schramer met Beth when he was a young bassist near Chicago, and they relocated to the Seattle area where they played in The Ducks and raised their drummer prodicgy son Justin. As local northwest writer Hollie Huthman wrote in her review of Been Here Before:
" Justin, growing up in a culture of music has obviously fostered fantastic skill on the drums which now contributes to a very tight sound."
Paul became the group's guitarist and wrote most of the group's original songs.
↓ more ↓The Ducks album Counter Culture proved to Paul he had the talent and skill to produce his own songs, and when ReDUX formed (at Justin's behest) and has many shows under their belt, Paul undertook the production of their cd Been Here Before.
ReDUX's title song Been Here Before sounds like the Who on Red Bull, and sprang from the angst felt watching the US invade Iraq & the demise of US diplomacy in the world.
Urgent Message has lyrics that were lifted whole from a four page letter left at a bus stop marked "Urgent Message for the People", and subsequently screened by the local police for anthrax and explosives. Writer guitarist Paul Schramer (who works for the bus company) also crafts songs that invite you into his creative world, where he has been playing rock with his wife and lead singer Beth for over 3 decades. His son plays drums, his brother Mark plays bass and while this may sound dangerously like the frigging Partridge family, wait till you hear the cd...
ReDUX rawks dudes, like, um, totally.
