They actually asked me for some advice on promoting their records, I had no really meaningful advice. I said to just play gigs and go to more blogs in hopes of reaching more people and gaining more fans. I might have said to possibly move to better locale but that’s kind of a mean thing to say… and not as easy as well.

I have a hard time describing their music, it’s not pop and it’s more of a straight up alternative style of rock, someone like The Hold Steady reminds me of them. I also liked what I heard from their myspace and they sound far from being raw despite being different from the typical pop rock band that generally gets me hooked.

The Six Red Carpets have a great range of music on their album, they make it hard to pin point a certain sound they have. They are rarely all over the place at the same time and I think I enjoyed listening to this music as if it were a post-rock outfit. The vocals are a little tough to listen to, it’s almost contrasting as he sings in a semi high voice that sticks out in on the subtleness of the music. I started disliking the vocals as I listened to the album more and more, lyrically I’m unsure of what affect it has on the music as well.

The album is very very solid, great for a band without a label and going through with the DIY route. I think the problem they have for now is that they don’t do anything specifically great to propel them to instant success. It would be wise if they slowly built up a fan base as best as they can and see if they can hook up with a label, perhaps move to a better location to play shows. Otherwise it’s tough for a band that doesn’t make pop music to do well based on internet hype.

The Six Red Carpets make great music and hopefully they can garner some more fans and success.
