CD:
“Addictions & Scars” is the follow-up to their first Internet only CD “Emotional Blur”. Red Delicious spent 3 years trying to perfect a collection of songs to release as their official 1st retail CD. Lead Singer Sara Wallace floats through the songs with her beautiful and provocative vocal sound taking the listener on a journey through every imaginable thought provoking innervations. Producers and band mates Rob King & Steve Baca lay down a foundation of musical bliss from heavy guitars and infectious drum grooves to serene pads and orchestral strings. Co-Producer Chris Vrenna (NIN, Tweaker) added his touch to more than half the CD and laid down some raw powerful drumming on a few songs on “Addictions & Scars”. The CD was mixed in Ocean Way Studios in Hollywood by world renowned mixer Jack Joseph Puig, known for his ability to merge the sounds of the past three decades to create something that is thoroughly modern, Jack Joseph Puig has produced hits for the Verve Pipe (“Freshmen”), The Black Crows (“Good Friday”), No Doubt and John Mayer among others. Classical pianist and composer Paul Romero also contributed some amazing string arrangements to the recordings. Red Delicious has delivered a collection of songs that simply can’t be denied. With their unique blend of alternative rock, with acoustic and electronic influences, their songs are guitar and melody driven, sultry and laden with hooks, yielding a sound all their own.
