A new band featuring past and present members of The Holy Kiss, Black Ice & Death of a Party. We have a 6 song EP which is now available online and in select stores, and are currently recording 5 more songs for future release.
"Red Voice Choir closed out the evening with a thunderous séance. Plunging into a darkness very different from the velvety noir of the first two acts, the foursome created a sense of hypnotized, harrowing agony. Keyboardist Miss Kel fluttered her voice over ominously revving guitars, as guitar player Adam Beck added his own bloodcurdling yells, and the lights atop the microphones streaked both their faces with lurid brilliance. Like hearing possessed voices emerge from a whirlwind, the spooky, traumatic din of this new collective promised many nightmares to come." -Rebecca Johnson (Performer Magazine)
"The Red Voice Choir might have an unfair advantage with me. I’m a fan of all three of the other members’ bands; namely Black Ice, Death of a Party, and the Holy Kiss. Naturally, I’d be predisposed to listening to this with a prejudiced ear, but might I not have unfairly high expectations? Probably. I’ve certainly listened to the recorded output by these four musicians with enough scrutiny to have a very discerning ear for them. But if this is the work of a new band, it’s surely recognizable only from the restlessness of the music than by faults in the performances. In fact, their ability to play together so seamlessly is quite impressive. While it does bear distinctive marks of some of their previous bands, Red Voice Choir doesn’t come off sounding like a side-project at all. Kevin Brown’s drumming is always impressive; using his beat-up drumset to his advantage, he continually pounds out rhythms unorthodox beats hounded by Kelly’s church organs and crashing into Adam’s guitar while Dawn’s bass slinks along to provide the groundwork. The six songs on this EP leave a good hope these guys will pull together great full length in some time to come." - Dan Scheme, Ausenmusik Blog
the new band Red Voice Choir (featuring Miss Kel from Black Ice on vocals) has its first release, “A Thousand Reflections”, out now and initial critical reception seems to be fairly positive. “They define their sound as some kind of a post punk experience. Their female front-woman is rather persuasive and her vocals evoke bands hailing from the 4AD corner. The music alternates smooth and quiet melodic passages with more tenses atmospheres. A bit short to really unveil their potential but I’ve heard some good tunes here and there so the future might be promising for them.” from www.curveofsound.wildhunt.com
With their latest album, A Thousand Reflections, the members of Red Voice Choir have experimented with effects, melody and harmony to create a deeply dark and fascinating record. Everything from the guitar licks and keyboard embellishments to the rhythmic complexity of the bass and drums to singer Kelly’s strong and polished voice melds together to create an ambiance that is heart-wrenching. You can buy the album directly from their MySpace page, and I highly recommend it. ~The Deli Magazine~
RED VOICE CHOIR – A Thousand Reflections (Atakra) - A dark and rather inviting mix of tasty things from deepest Oakland (California). Think Siouxsie style goth via a cool American alt.rock outlook and a hints of things like Phantom Limbs or Sleepytime Gorilla Museum and just a hint of left field Liars. Intriguing, edgy, clever word play, melodramatic post-punk flavoured alt.goth for March Violets everywhere – right there in the dark, waiting - harrowing drama. Miss Kel (from Black Ice) on tense seductive vocals and dramatic organ, guitarist Adam Beck an edgy foil/frontman to her voice. Intense atmospheres, layered story telling, drama – words and lines that keep on demand attention. Seems their live shows have been described as being like a “thunderous seance” – that makes sense, that thunderous feel certainly comes over here in the warm inviting intensity of these six intriguing tracks. ~Organ Magazine~
