"...two-guitar, bass, and drums progressive punk/rock/...you know, I don't know exactly what kind of rock they were. There was a lot of heavy melodic guitar and well-placed screaming. Rock with screaming can quickly become annoying, but these guys are tight musicians, and their melodies and spot-..s really carried the tunes. The screams were a welcome exclamation. Although the songs were short, each was memorable, employing a different rhythmic or sonic element...Worn In Red should indeed be heard."
- Damani Harrison, The Hook, October 6-12, 2005.

"Mid-paced post-hardcore with mixing and interlaying guitar work over pounding drums and bass with flat out gutted screams. A darker element definitely comes out of the music for a more depressed sound that's aggressive and energetic."
- Kevin Nunn, The FEST 5 Handbook, October, 2006.

We used to be in a bunch of other bands. Now we're in this band. We've been around since November of 2004, though the current line-up has only been together since October of 2007. We like to write music together, tour together, and hang out together. We play in other bands too, such as Memorial, Forensics, and PYINTF-Big. We've been fortunate to play with a bunch of rad bands, including: Melt Banana, Glass & Ashes, Modern Life Is War, Thunderlip!, The Life & Times, Bella Fea, Pash, Young Livers, Mass Movement of the Moth, The Points, Mouthbreather, The Riot Before, Brand New Disaster, Benard, The Catalyst, I Am The Avalanche, Jena Berlin, Sparrows Swarm & Sing, Pink Razors, Bullet Train To Vegas, Tubers, Young Hearts, Pyramids, Lost Hands Found Fingers, This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb, Savage Brewtality, Building The State, Constrictor, The Draft, Small Brown Bike, and Seaweed.

Please don't send form letters trying to book shows with us, or anyone. The idea of having a connection like myspace should be a good one, not a launching pad for generic bands full of people with dollar signs in their eyes. That said, if you would generally like to play a show with us, are nice people, and have a sound we might be into, let us know. We will never respond to any form letters, and we hope that others will adopt this policy, because if we don't get rid of cookie-cutter bands touring just to feed their own egos, our scene will end up shit.
Also, we don't do random friend adds from bands or companies, so please stop trying. There's just too much smarmy "networking" going around myspace - that shit belongs in a business luncheon, not in a DIY music community. If you're a band we've never met or played with, and you dig our music, take 5 minutes to send us a message and introduce yourselves. It's really not asking that much, and it helps build a buffer against turning this myspace thing into a contest of "which band can waste the most time in front of their computer trawling for friends to artificially inflate the status of their band". We'll do the same if we randomly run across your band/company and we like it enough to say, "hey, let's be 'friends'". We're not trying to be dicks, we're just not interested in being all cold and "business" about music, and it seems that this simple request keeps the corporate-rock wannabes at bay, since they generally have no interest in making any kind of good-faith friendly connection. In other words, if our position on this pisses you off, then it was probably meant to. If you get it, then lets be friends!
