RELEASE THE PANIC (Essential/Provident/Sony), the group’s fourth album, has already sold over 90,000 copies in just over a month and marked the group’s second Top Ten album debut on the Billboard Top 200 chart. The hard-driving first single “Perfect Life”—which Revolver magazine declared “an anthemicheart-pounder…” (February 2013) and ArtistDirect said carries “a massive stadium-size refrain into crossover territory”—has reached #25 on Active Rock radio this week, continuing to gain in the key 18-35 year-old demographic. To record the critically-acclaimed new album, RED teamed up with producer Howard Benson (P.O.D., My Chemical Romance, Daughtry) at his brand-new West Valley Studios in Los Angeles and has delivered a potent set of standout songs that were mixed by Benson and Mike Plotnikoff including “Perfect Life,” “Die For You,” “Release the Panic” and “Same Disease.”
