Red guitarist, Anthony Armstrong, on the accomplishment. “Speechless and thankful would begin to explain how we feel right now. We can’t convey enough thanks to Christian Rock radio, and everyone that supports us. God continually blesses this band, and it’s amazing to see it happen. One thing’s for sure - we’re just getting started.”

Additionally, “Already Over,” also from Red’s End of Silence album, is currently No. 18 on the R&R Active Rock radio chart and No. 31 on the R&R Alternative radio chart.

Red will play multiple Christian music festivals throughout the summer. For all tour dates and information, visit www.redmusiconline.com or www.myspace.com/dropofred.
