In a live review I did for a local newspaper a year or so back I portrayed Melbourne`s Cold Red Mute thus: “Cold Red Mute is the bastard offspring of an unholy Motorhead/Ramones union“.
While the band`s own press kit describes them as being akin to a V8 muscle-car blend of psychotropic punk, rock and metal combining the Monolithic, sand-devil riffage of Kyuss, the brutality of Motorhead, the drunken swagger of the sunset strip and the dark country madness of Tom Waits.
Cold Red Mute have been defiling the stages of inner city Melbourne and regional Victoria for a good couple of years now, wowing audiences with their searing, white hot, slash and burn approach to live performance. Now we have the bands uniquely lunatic brand of Rock & Roll executed magnificently and maniacally by way of their debut self-titled CD.
