I was never super into The Color Fred, but I absolutely love this song. Gonna go give his old stuff another chance now.
His other band after Color Fred, Terrible Things, was really good. The later EP called Post-Transmissions reminds me of this song a lot.
Not a bad song, and I have heaps of appreciation for Fred as a musician, but it fully sounds like a product of the late 2000s. Not slagging him off; I get it’s tougher for many artists to stay current as they age & I was just hoping this would sound a bit more fresh :/
Sometimes I still wish he was in TBS and writing music with them. Can you imagine? What if he filled Eddie’s spot and him, John, and Adam all sang parts? Nate can be that third guitarist/play the keys like he has been! Damn, I’m blowing my own mind. This is a good song too.
I'm liking this song. I remember liking a few The Color Fred songs previously, might need to check them out again.
As soon as I heard this I was like "There's those guitars that are missing from TBS that threw them into the mainstream." His live solo's on Liar and his chops on Spin... oh man.. the nostalgia. I was fortunate enough to see TBS with Fred on Linkin Parks 2007 Projekt Revolution tour. (Also Minutes To Midnight was my last loved LP album before I couldnt do it anymore.)
