“Somewhere between the bombast of rock music and the infectiousness of pop. At a point where musical weight is subsumed by indie smarts. In a place where alternative creativity collides with mainstream tastes, you find the sort of music which seems to have mass appeal whilst still bristling with authenticity and integrity. And this is where you find Red Output.”
Dave Franklin (Dancing About Architecture)
Red Output
Red Output, a saucy quartet out of Guelph, play cutting-edge, razor sharp, alternative/post-punk.
With a boastable collection of original, dynamic, punchy earworms, Red Output has been tearing up the stage with an in-your-face sonic fingerprint and exuberant stage presence for several years. They have played many headlining shows throughout Ontario and Quebec as well as opening for big names like Pacifica, Motherfolk, Hotel Mira, and Texas King.

Red Output's Sophomore EP
“is” brings a variety of textures to create its sonic tapestry of Love: from dark and driving post-punk to catchy yet gritty indie rock, through manic, noisy freakouts all the way to warm and tender balladry, “is” probes the many corners of our world and finds Love in each one. It draws inspiration from the sonic palettes and expansive creativity of bands like Fontaines D.C., shame and Geese while moving beyond these influences to carve a unique and diverse space in the landscape of contemporary post-punk.
