"ESSAY: WHO THE HELL IS RED/7-G?"

            How many local bands are there right now?  Thousands.  How many of those local bands suck?  All of them!  Including a little band called Red/7-g.  Some love the comedic style that is portrayed by this band, others say it’s bad: two guys who sound high fucking around in a studio who have 0% talent…So what?  The people who bought the “Bragger Soundtrack” loved “Stuff That Sucks” and wanted to hear more.

            “We have a lot of fun doing the song, but a couple of days after we record it, we think, ‘What was I on when I did this?’” says Yost or “g” of the band.  “We always think our songs are cool until someone else listens to them, then we know…they suck.”

            Two albums have already passed, and the third is in the making, but the band is still a little shaky on how people will react to all of their songs.

            “It’s more comedy than anything else,” says Williams or “7” of the band.

            Their tracks “Butt-Poo”, “Yellow Stinky Pee”, “Stuff That Sucks” and more are supposed to just be stupid.

            “The first minute of a song is good, then it just starts to get retarded,” says a female “disliker” of the band, who will remain unnamed.

            The members of the band even get confused on whether or not it’s a good track: “I just hope we don’t get sued if we get famous,” says 7.

            Their remarks pertaining to everything you can think of (gays, lesbians, NSYNC, BSB, Britney Spears, James Cameron, etc.), that’s maybe why some who have heard the songs have liked them.

            “It’s all in fun, we aren’t actually trying to offend anyone,” says g.

            Not a lot of people have even heard the tracks from Red/7-g: “It’s hard to tell,” say Williams and Yost.

            The band’s 2 albums have gone with a fake label (Who Cares? Records) and fake copyrights.  The band is still searching for labels, since it’s the only way they can make copies of their CDs and sell them to the public.  But how will the public respond to the crude toilet humor, profanity, and repeated talk of drug use and pot.

            “I don’t know, if we do get big it could be bad, we comment on suicide and how it’s the right thing to do,” says 7.

            One soon-to-be controversial track is sure to be “Emergency Broadcast Warning” an intro where the band tells the listener to “Turn up the volume on your boom box as high as it will go and put your ear up to your speaker, the sound you hear will be very faint, so you must do this to hear it.”  Then, an extremely loud, high pitched, ear piercing noise echoes down your ear canal causing possible damage.

            “We’re in a lot of trouble if some retard actually listens to us,” says 7.

            “It’s like standing in front of the main speaker at an Aerosmith concert, but imagine the entire concert was compressed into 8 seconds,” says g.

            So ask yourself this, ‘Is it good for Red/7-g to not make it big and have them just fool around and have only friends listen?’  Who knows, but if the band doesn’t change some of their music, it could mean lawsuits.  But, the band doesn’t seem to want to do that: “I hate bands that make one album then disappear, I never want to be like that,” says 7.  “You need to figure out how to take criticism, once you do that, you can stop sucking as much,” says g.
