DOWNLOAD WOKE UP DEAD FOR FREE!

FULL EP OUT NOW!

As intriguing as the band’s name, the first release from Montreal duo The Redmond Barry’s is entitled “1949 MURDERS” and comes in the form of a six track EP. A taste of what’s to come, the debut showcases the band’s unique and raw brand of rock and roll.

Plunged into progressive and instant classic opening track “The Demise Of”, no time is wasted in demonstrating what TRB are made of. Harsh tones make way for the slightly more pop-y “Two Can Play”, complemented with a bridge reminiscent of Link Wray and Dick Dale. “Woke Up Dead” then aggressively takes the reigns and fills you with its foot-stomping rhythm and catchy chorus that will get you singing along. At the midpoint, “Out of the Past” hooks you with its addictive fills and harmonic bridge, then makes way for the heartbreaking “Months and Years” which showcases the band’s lyrical muscle and softer side. Finally, the EP is put to rest and left wanting more with “Liars”, a song so packed with energy it’s sure to get everyone on the dance floor moving.

The Redmond Barry’s combine each track as unique as the other with crispy guitars, intoxicating drums and raw yet melodious vocals laced with harmonious harmonies. “1949 MURDERS” includes many surprises and is so versatile it’s bound to have something for everyone.

Track Name: The Demise Of
The busy dial-tones just won't let up. So hard to believe it'll ever be enough. Well how could they be turned away? The plan was followed to the T.
It keeps happening again and again. Well, don't you know it's not you it's them.
The circles keep getting wider. It doesn't matter what you say. The purpose of all this is clever. But the mirror cuts within.
There's just no way to get through. The pitch forks and axes are coming. You know.
But it's all lies.
Figured out.
So just let it go.
No one's asking but you tell. So convincing, fooled yourself. The mind is open but made up Consideration is kept shut.
Has the luck run its course? Because nobody is listening.
And you feel like you could've made it. But you won't.
It's all gone. I see through.
Too dumb to realize.
"You know you're right".
There's just no way to get through. The pitch forks and axes are coming. You know.
But it's all lies.
Figured out.
So just let it go.
Track Name: Two Can Play
Picture perfect not meant to be. Waiting around just to see. Sometimes it's strong, sometimes it's weak. Where are you now?
And sometimes I don't feel the same. It might be you but who's to blame? And sometimes it's not the same well where are you now? where are you?
You're acting cold.
Well I'm cold too.
Playing games I see right through. You think I'm just not here for you. Well where are you now?
And sometimes I don't feel the same. It might be you but who's to blame? And sometimes it's not the same well where are you now? where are you?
Two can play...
And sometimes I don't feel the same. It might be you but who's to blame? And sometimes it's not the same well where are you now? where are you?
Track Name: Woke Up Dead
Woke up with the strangest feeling.
Something this morning wasn't quite right.
I didn't know what had happened.
But the face in the mirror just wasn't mine.

Did I wake up dead?

I took a look outside my window.
Bodies filled the streets with red.
Fell asleep last night and I was living.
Or had I just wasted away in my head.

Did I wake up dead?

In dreams I feel I'm locked inside.
Exposed. I have nothing to hide.
You can look but there's nothing to see.
All the same but not trying to be.

Did I wake up dead?
Did I wake up?
Track Name: Out of the Past
Unhappy once again.
Well how much else is there to think? The arteries were cut for a reason.
Strings are pulled.
The curtains are drawn. Making way for what once was. But was it ever really?
Look in your eyes and I feel nothing.
Bitterness amongst reactions. I should thank my lucky scars. There's a time and place. But It's all gone.
Scratching nails beneath my skin. Afraid to depart.
It's all settled in.
Still the pieces don't quite line up.
Look in your eyes and I feel nothing. You can't disguise.
I feel nothing.
What will it be like? Won't make a sound. What will it be like? Turn me around. Faded away. Blend in with the crowd. Try to find out. What it could be like.
The difference.
The meaning.
But it was only just fleeting.
And I...
Look in your eyes and I feel nothing. You can't disguise.
I feel nothing.
Won't run and hide.
I feel nothing. Fucked up inside. and
I feel nothing.
Track Name: Months & Years
The machine no longer speaks. The flashing light can finally sleep. But the end has just begun
and
the thoughts have reached their peak.
I thought I saw you in the night but I guess it was my mind. The things we had to say have left no single trace.
Is this a trick of the brain
or
is this fight against nature driving us insane? What was thought just isn't true.
Love it lies or is it you?
You could've heard her at the door
but those numbered white boxes are empty and it seems the spells run dry.
Or have we decided to run from the future? as the months and years progress
is this the next step to regress?
When he thought that it was...
Could we simply turn a key
and
find the things that disappeared?
If you want you can tell me but you won't because that would be too easy.
So we walk the lonely streets
in hopes to find someone who meets... But the pillow cases they are still still soaked so it's better left than to provoke.
Break your own rules with the words you said you'd never say.
Now the feeling is reversed so don't say what he longed to hear when...
When he thought that it was love.
Track Name: Liars
You've got the look. You've got the clothes. You can dress the part. But can you fake the rest?
Computer generated standard. Artificial truth.
You'll be who we tell you. You won't question
and you don't.
Well.
You've got the look.
What you've got I don't want. Don't try and drag me in.
I think I just might already be there.
Well take off your coat It'll only take a minute. We know who you are and
we know what you're thinking.
It don't matter how far we've come. Fuck adapting on the way we've won.
Well.
You've got the look.
What you've got I don't.
Don't try and drag me in.
I think I just might already be there.
What do you see? Oh. Are you free?
Well.
You've got the look.
What you've got I don't.
Don't try and drag me in.
I think I just might already be there. Disregard what you stand for. But look at you.
You don't stand for anything. Do you?
