Red Animal War

about

Red Animal War is an indie rock / post hardcore band from Dallas, Texas that is one of the most original bands of their genre (which is often questionable). Mixing elements of math and progressive rock into dark drum and bass beats (and a voice that can be very hooky), they often are compared to some of the most technical bands out there. The band came together in 1999 with musical friends Justin Wilson (guitar/vocals), Jeff Wilganowski (drums), Brian Pho (bass), and Matt Pitman (guitar). They've perfected their emo style for something charming and desirable, allowing Deep Elm to take interest in the band and inking them a deal in late 1999. They spent most of 2000 recording in Deedle's Room in Austin, TX, recording what would become a full-length studio effort. The fruit of those sessions was Breaking in an Angel (2001,) plus a split disc with Slowride. The next year, the more complex and ferocious Black Phantom Crusades was released in the fall. Brian quit the band while in Europe touring. Jeff Meaningless was flown out and soon became the permanent replacement. 2004 saw the release of Polizida, recorded by J. Robbins (Against Me!, Jets To Brazil, Dismemberment Plan) which was released through the Ice Planet label. Their latest release, Seven Year War was released in 2006 on END sounds. The band had this to say about the release: This album came together after it became clear that our music was not getting the distribution it deserves. With End Sounds, we have found
