Red            

Christian Rock Band Known for "Breathe Into Me" & "Let It Burn"

Red is a Christian rock band from Nashville, Tennessee, formed in 2002 by brothers guitarist Anthony Armstrong and bassist Randy Armstrong, with lead vocalist Michael Barnes. The band's first lineup also consisted of drummer Andrew Hendrix and guitarist Jasen Rauch. Since 2014, the band's lineup has consisted of the core trio of the Armstrongs and Barnes with current drummer Dan Johnson.

After they recorded several demos that displayed a style of alternative, hard, and Christian rock music, Red landed a development deal with their longtime producer Rob Graves which led to a record deal with Christian label Essential Records in 2004. Their first two albums, End of Silence (2006) and Innocence & Instinct, (2009) were each nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rock Gospel Album. Those two albums spawned the popular singles "Breathe Into Me" and "Death of Me."

Red's mainstream popularity grew and their third album, 2011's Until We Have Faces, reached #2 on the Billboard 200, which was followed by 2013's Release the Panic, which peaked at #7.

After 2015's Of Beauty and Rage, Red started work on their sixth album, Gone, which was released in October 2017. Red released their seventh studio album, Declaration, in April of 2020.
