Vendetta Red's "Close To Me" is my weekend song

Vendetta Red have been away a while but they seem to be around in the background somehow. Maybe poised to make a come back of sorts.  Can you make a comeback when you weren't that popular to begin with?

 I was really into those Sparta, ATDI and bands like Vendetta Red back in the early 2000's.  I hate the term "emo" because honestly those bands don't fill that mold. Anyhow, Vendetta Red sort of came and went much like most of their peers.  They had some solid albums but maybe not the exposure of some of the other bands back then.  That type of music was still fighting against bands like Staind and Disturbed to get heard by the harder edged rock fans.

It's time to dust off the Vendetta Red's catalog and really give them a second listen.  Overlooked but damn good music.  "Close to Me" just got a video by the band and I have to say I'm pretty impressed. Really dig the angst and honesty in it's delivery. We've all been there.  Turn it up and crank this music.  He does drop the "F" bomb so maybe don't crank it with kids around.
