"It's not much of an exaggeration to liken Red Rose Panic to superheroes. While none of them s able to fly, each brings his own set of skills to the table. When those skills combine in the studio or on the stage, it's an auditory reminder of the kind of innovation that makes the Akron music scene so refreshing when it's at its best." (read more...)
