Low Red Land

Filed Under Featured, Updates 

Low Red Land, from San Francisco, make music that echoes their geographic history. They met in New York, played in Boston and then moved to the City By The Bay. They play music that’s reminiscent of post-hardcore with shadings of folk. It’s a dichotomy they embrace; they play sets both electric and acoustic. It’s fantastic when a band that can rock as hard as a Fugazi, Jawbox or Rival Schools can also be content to sit down with an acoustic guitar, banjo, accordion and vocal harmonies. Their new album, Dog’s Hymns, while leaning more towards the rock ‘n roll, finds a balance between these two sides of the band. They effortlessly mix throat-tearing protest songs and softer personal songs. This is a band totally at home with being two very different things. And in the end, they pull it all into one big, unified whole.

Go see them in Moscow, on April 1st, at the Nuart.

    Thank you for the kind words. We’re hoping we can still make the show at the Nuart. Our gas tank, along with several other parts, was stolen from our van and we’ve had to cancel a number of dates while waiting for repairs. The full explanation is on our website. Again, thank you for writing about our band. We’re hoping we make it to Idaho, but if we do not, we will be back soon.
