Fresh from a run of shows in the UK and Europe, including The Great Escape and Pretty Pissed FestivalREDD. will return home to play shows in Melbourne and Sydney, and will be joining the epic King Street Crawl (Newtown) line-up. REDD. will also be supporting Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers on their East Coast Australia tour next month.

REDD. and their boundaryless, wholly idiosyncratic approach to music speaks to the experience of an artist who’s been the odd one out for nearly their entire life.  REDD. wants to connect with people, make them move, and spark boundless joy.

New single ‘BAD DAYS.’ puts a fresh spin on contemporary emo-pop-rock and plays like the emotional core of the RAUNCH. mixtape – an acknowledgement of pain that manages to look past it into brighter futures, it complicates our image of an artist whose primary mode is setting the party on fire. “There are bad days, there are others where I am thinking I just might break, snapping under my weight. Everything wrong, check the world’s climate, I just sing songs, hoping I’ll survive it,” REDD. says.

Shot entirely on an iPhone 4 across the US and Australia, the accompanying official video, with its raw yet striking DIY style, is co-directed by REDD. and  Cole Surrey. The almost documentary-like glimpses captures the intense energy and chaotic world of REDD.

Opening track and lead single ‘RAUNCH.’ is a slithery kiss-off that flexes REDD.’s prodigious talent and shows off their talent for arena-ready production, while ‘SHIMMY SHAKE.’ is the kind of romantic slacker pop track that would make Mac Miller proud. ‘PUSH ME AWAY.’ puts a fresh spin on contemporary emo-pop-rock, and pop-punk track ‘FUGH SHI.’ takes aim at artists who don’t have conviction in their own uniqueness and sense of self. ‘JEANS SO BAGGY.’ is a sun-dappled ode to being a freak and totally liking it and closing track ‘BRITNEY IN 03.’, the bratty indie sleaze anthem that’s already put REDD. on the map toys with conventions of gender and taste with the bearings of the artist they know they’ll soon be.

The 9-track mixtape moves at breakneck speed through crackling pop-punk, lush indie-R&B, and party-starting hip hop anthems, all the while foregrounding REDD.’s lithe voice and remarkable talent for sharp, witty lyricism. Recorded in Melbourne, Sydney, LA and New York,  RAUNCH. is produced and written by REDD. and friends Lach Bostock (Maisonair), Tom Josephs, Laiko (Medium Build), New-Haven (Evie Irie, Allday), SB40Stephen Mowat (Gretta Ray, Tyne-James Organ), Ciarrann Babbington (Bakers Eddy), Nate Delizotti (Vacations), Benjamin Schandy (Jimi Somewhere), Ole Martin Jense (Jimi Somewhere), Julian Sudek (Royel Otis, Bag Raiders, Genesis Owusu), and  Lars Stalfors (Role Model, The Dare, Lucy Dacus) on mixing.

There is no doubt the momentum behind REDD. continues to heat up with every single they release and every show they perform. As well as local media and DSPs championing their music - triple j and unearthed3RRRRTRFBiSYN FM4ZZZRadio AdelaideSide-NoteTonedeafMilkyVEVO, Spotify and Apple Music – internationally REDD. has been played on BBC Radio and Radio X and given the seal of approval by Kerrang!
