"From first listen, there's something riveting about Red Edmund frontman Cory Graddy's flexible, floating and somewhat nasal delivery. It's rich, uplifting, soaring, edging effortlessly into a beautiful, heavenly falsetto. Backing Cory's vocals and guitar are bassist Tim Lyons and drummer Chad Geiser, resulting in a perfectly tight trio. The three players interact and respond so well to one another, it's as if there's deeper something going on than just band rehearsals paying off. Onstage, the three function as one unit in three parts, each woven intricately together, synergistically; up front, Cory and Tim take turns driving the show or bantering with the crowd when the others step back, tune or wet the whistle."

"We've long been sweet on Red Edmund. Like many contemporary relationships, ours began online. You see, we've got a profile on the dating site Sonicbids, which has been making beautiful unions between bands and opportunities for years now. Our profile says something like, "Indie web-only music magazine seeking musicians with CDs for review. We like long walks on the beach in the moonlight, romantic music on the iPod, and a headphones jack for two." Red Edmund were just one of many who responded, but we knew from the very first note that this band was something special. We emailed, arranged a meeting. Red Edmund gave us some of their favorite music (their own, of course), which we instantly devoured through the above-mentioned headphones-built-for-two. We were falling, and we knew just what we had to do."

"The CD starts with the track, 'Moon,' a catchy, radio friendly tune that feature frontman Cory Graddy's unique voice giving you hook after hook with well controlled falsetto throughout the chorus. This is only the beginning. Tim Lyons (bass) and [Chad] Geiser supply a groove the hold you through every song, all while maintaining their own individuality."
