Red Oblivion

Sometimes things line up all too perfectly. Such was the case when Zach Adams (vocals/bass), Emma Torres (guitar, background vocals), and Carson Groenewold (drums)met as students at the Berklee College of Music in 2011. The trio would go on to form the heavy rock outfit Red Oblivion and were subsequently selected to represent their college at Lollapalooza in 2012. I was at that Lollapalooza, and I’m watching the live stream of this year’s as I type this.
Coincidence and happenstance aside, the hip shaking swagger and smoky hard rock streams are evocative of Josh Homme had he been raised on pavement rather than desert sand. This sentiment is backed by searing single “My Friend Fear” off of Red Oblivion’s forthcoming EP of the same name out 9/16. Less talk, more action.

In 2011, while attending Boston’s Berklee College of Music, three individuals met and weaved together their passion for rock and roll into one cohesive, heavy sound. This sound evolved into the alt-rock trio Red Oblivion, who have since moved on from the classroom and set-up shop in New York City. Diffuser is excited to unveil the latest creation from the band, the official music video for their latest track, ‘My Friend Fear.’ You can watch it above.
Releasing their debut EP, ‘Simple, in 2012, Red Oblivion have toured across the globe and even represented Berklee at 2012’s Lollapalooza. Now, in 2014, the band is preparing for the release of their second EP, ‘My Friend Fear.’
The title track’s music video is at times dark and disturbing, but it ultimately conveys an encouraging message. “In this video — direct by Alex Watson-Eng — we tried to summarize three different kinds of insanity using the album artwork and portraying the message, ‘We’ve all felt insane, some of us are perpetually insane an this mad world isn’t helping,’” the band tells us. “Everyone in the crew was a superstar and one of the gaffers even doubled as an actor.”

Due out September 16, 2014, My Friend Fear exhibits the band's modern take on traditional rock 'n roll, complete with intense raspy vocals, hard-hitting drums, thumping bass, reverberating guitars, and catchy pop sensibilities. In five songs, Red Oblivion shows that they are a sonic force to be reckoned with." - Pure Grain Audio
