Red Star Revolt

Red Star Revolt is a rock power trio based in Denver, CO. Formed in 2007, singer/bassist Aaron Nava and guitarist Clutch began sonic experiments to stretch their music in a more progressive direction. Having polished their concepts into an hours' worth of music, they entered the studio with Dino Cuneo on drums. Red Star Revolt's eponymous debut conjures cinematic soundscapes that blend elements of modern and vintage, alternative and progressive, ethereal and primal. Infectious melodies and punishing riffs are interspersed with passages of instrumental jams and space rock psychedelics.
