“The boys of Red Arrow Messenger play no-frills alternative rock with plain and honest vocals. "Murder Ballad" is a timeless tale of Americana violence and struggle, infused with a touch of atonal indie modernity. "More Love" reveals the band's diversity, sticking with dark lyrics ("Your eyes shine like the mouth of a gun...") but accompanied by a hip-hop bass line. Playing in support is a cast of local indie favorites, including Jenny O, Rumspringa, and Last American Buffalo, whose "Bohemian Blues" sounds like it was pulled from the Bob Dylan mold.”

RED ARROW MESSENGER
Red Arrow Messenger summons the California of the 1960s, where their collective quest for identity and freedom of consciousness brought a renaissance of music, art, and political activism. At the same time, the songs are colored by modern sounds and subject matters. Singer and songwriter Jesse Nolan frequently discusses his affection for American roots music and the pillars of the Rock n Roll tradition (Dylan, Neil Young, the Beatles and Stones, the Kinks, Buffalo Springfield, Crosby Still and Nash, Bowie, the Band) but the collaborative process with Keith Patterson (bass) and Stephen Edelstein (drums) has yielded a sound that subtly references the band's contemporary influences.
