Richmond, VA-based rockers Red Reign take 80’s influences and steer them in a more contemporary direction – bridging the sounds of yesterday and today.
The band is comprised of members singer/guitarist Carlton “Bubba” McMichael, guitarist Stevie Shred, bassist Larry Moore, and drummer Sammy Lee.
Red Reign has worked with Grammy Award-nominated multi-platinum producer David Ivory (Halestorm, Silvertide, The Roots) on both its releases: 2021’s self-titled EP and 2023’s full-length Don’t Look Back.
Don’t Look Back landed in the Top 100 ADA/WMG Amazon sales and is bolstered by such standout tracks as the rocking “No Peace, No Love” which has gained over 120K views on YouTube, and “Don’t Look Back” which has a guest appearance from guitarist George Lynch (Dokken, Lynch Mob). Additionally, the band has toured or shared the stage with Extreme, Jackyl, Lita Ford, and Tesla.
LATEST RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
RED REIGN SET TO OPEN FOR LA GUNS THIS SPRING, IN SUPPORT OF 'DON'T LOOK BACK' LP
Virginia-based rockers Red Reign are honored to announce a string of east coast dates that they will open for LA Guns throughout late April and early May.
The band will be performing standout tracks from their most recent album, 'Don't Look Back.'
"We are excited to be back on the road supporting one of our favorite bands, LA Guns," said the band in a statement.
"We are looking forward to being back on stage performing live – material from our latest release and fan favorites, and continuing to meet new friends along the way."
Taking 80’s influences but steering them in a more contemporary direction, Red Reign (which is comprised of members singer/guitarist Carlton “Bubba” McMichael, guitarist Stevie Shred, bassist Larry Moore, and drummer Sammy Lee) bridge the sounds of yesterday and today, and can compete with the current active rock radio climate – as heard throughout their aforementioned 2023 full-length debut, ‘Don’t Look Back,’ which was supported by opening shows last year for classic rockers Nazareth.
Overseen by Grammy Award-nominated multi-platinum producer David Ivory(Halestorm, Silvertide), the ten-track LP features such standout tracks as “Don’t Look Back” (which features a guest appearance by guitarist George Lynch), “Here I Am,” and “No Peace, No Love.” The band strongly feels that “All types of music lovers can find what they like in each one of our songs.” To check out the group's music video for "Don't Look Back," click here:

And the feedback from the rock press concerning the album has been stellar, including Metal Express Radio saying "'Don’t Look Back' has a modern sounding production, giving the songs a fresh feel to them. The title track, in particular, is a solid rocker with a powerful message, which is to let go of the past and focus on the now. It’s heavy, melodic, and upbeat." Additionally, Sonic Perspectives said, "If the album packs this much energy, witnessing it live might just transport you to another plane of existence."
And the buzz concerning Red Reign will only be spread further with these upcoming shows supporting LA Guns!
