Discover Mike Hale and In The Red


Just found out about this artist/song writer - he does acoustic as well as punk - listened to and enjoyed a couple of his acoustic songs on his myspace page - http://www.myspace.com/mikehalemusic

Excerpted from his about me:
There's not much to tell. I sing and play guitar in the rock bands GUNMOLL and IN THE RED. This project, this style of playing and singing is exactly what you would hear if you came to my door any given day of the week. This is what i do when i'm all alone. It's my favorite thing in the whole world. I love small rock shows, my 77 standard, dogs, and job. I truly miss the South, but love my new life in California. Don't plan on moving back anytime soon. Definitely hoping to play out as much as possible. all invitations welcomed.

His band "In The Red" myspace page - http://www.myspace.com/intheredrock they released Volume 2 this past March

Here is what they have to say about their new release:
We are really excited to announce the pre-order for In the Red's new album, "Volume 2". The album is available on LP, CD, and as part of a deluxe set. To coordinate with this announcement, we have posted a new track on In the Red's Myspace page, "Overlooked". As you can hear from the 2 tracks we have posted so far, the record takes what they were doing on Volume 1 and really takes their sound into a fresh new direction. My ears hear a definite 90's Grunge influence to accompany their inspiration for acts like Leatherface, Jawbreaker, and Hot Water Music.

The album will be in stores on March 31st, 2009, but pre-ordering the album will get it in your hands by early to mid March. The vinyl is out of an edition of 1,000 copies (300 on Red, 700 on Baby Blue w/ Purple Splatter) and the vinyl comes with a digital download coupon. And the deluxe sets feature the Baby Blue w/ Purple Splatter LP, the CD, a pint glass, a poster, a t-shirt, a coozie, and a button. The art on all the merch was inspired by the incredible art that Sten did.

The 12 song album was recorded by Armand John Anthony and was mastered at Black In Bluhm by Chris Fogal.
