RED TAPE @ The Boardwalk in Sacramento, CA also on the bill were THROWRAG & STREET DOGS.... http://www.redtapearmy.com/ SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA-BASED PUNK QUARTET Red Tape thrives on dichotomies. The ferocious foursome cranks its guitars full roar, yet manages to squeeze out some melody and shout-along choruses from the raucous mix. Their Radioactivist bristles with underground intensity, yet was produced by Orgy's slick synth-guitarist Amir Derakh, who is actually well versed in old school punk rock. The group flirts with overt political imagery in their album art--not to mention song titles like "Stalingrad" and "High Revoltage"--yet seeks to personalize issues rather than preach about them. The title Radioactivist, which combines the words "radioactive" and "activist," even expresses a dark duality.

"Basically the 'radioactive part' is (about how) we don't live in perfect times," explains frontman and guitarist Jeff Jaworski. "There is a lot of toxicity out there--poison in our food and in our minds and in our lifestyles. You almost have to just embrace it. We go out and get smashed, and it's not good for you, but it's how you deal with life. The 'activist' is the energy involved with the band. We have this real get-off-your-ass vibe; although, it's more James Brown than it is Tony Robbins." Inspired by the ideals of '80s punk rockers, Red Tape certainly stands out amidst Roadrunner Records' metal minions. "We're pretty much here to put the nail in the nu-metal coffin," quips Jaworski. "In a way, nu-metal will always have a place in the world, but I think they've got to expand their horizons." http://www.myspace.com/redtape
