Vin Rouge

Coming from the Bay Area...... Bass driven, heavy rock songs... No love of cliche. Big drum sets, crunchy guitars, and vocal harmonies with vintage gear mixed with soft synths...

Holy Kiss

"The Holy Kiss revs up the wall of sound while lead singer Matty Rue screams his guts out and throws the microphone cord around. Just when he's about to crack open, the band drops into a melodic part of the song and Rue shows his true talent - singing from the bottom of his soul."
- Tony Dushane, San Francisco Chronicle
