When you combine talent, hard work, and years of experience, the outcome is always exceptional; I’m obviously referring to “Red Matter.” A seven-member band; each separately has a strong musical background and an extensive experience in the industry. For starters, each band member is a vocalist, along with playing other instruments, truly! Starting with: Paul Dunay on Rhythm Guitar, Doug Knight on keyboards, Geoff Schneider on lead guitar, Aaron Hagele on percussion, Ric Lubell on Bass, Milo Barer on vocals, and JP Geoghegan, who is a songwriter. The band blends a variety of elements from different genres like rock, Americana, and psychedelics to produce a highly authentic sound and flavored music that you can taste while listening to it.
After performing about 250 shows, they decided to release their debut studio single “Light of the Moon.” The six-minute track opens with a fast-paced and significant guitar riff, which aligns with the uplifting and cheerful lyrics; about living life to the fullest and seeing the beauty of it all.
The song is full of grit, rich rhythmic lines, and textured sounds. The music is so vibrant that you could visualize it, and see it come to life!!! It’s heavy on improvisations, guitar licks, and fun jamming moments.
The song is accompanied by a music video directed by Edwin Escobar and produced by Maria Schwerdtle, who did a wonderful job in capturing the band’s overall vibe and the song’s essence which is so fun, random, and spontaneous but also dense. Don’t forget to check their website and socials for their upcoming performances; you’ll undoubtedly have the time of your life!
