Red Mojo

Red Mojo
70/80 (Demo)

Slow and yearning guitars coupled with the Ian Hunter vocal style of lead man Lenn Leonard in the first song ‘Sitting On The Fence’, slowly gets you buzzing, as the twanging bass line jolts along and helps you grow into the listening experience of this emotive four track tempter. An impressive feat has already been achieved by this Warringtonian quintet who have survived and stuck together through the fads and fashions of music that has seen bands split up more times than a celebrity couple, yet these guys matured together, as this funky, polished and crafted offering testifies.

Red Mojo's emotiveness reaches a high point in the provocative and heart tugging acoustic led ‘When You’re Not Around’, as depth and passion pour out from the vocals of Len with the emotion building to coincide with a strong guitar accompaniment that lifts the track to jive friendly levels. They retain an authentic rawness that seeps through in ‘Kaleidoscope Land’; sounding a bit like Kasabian on come down, but even more thoughtful. This earnest outfit has added a coat of varnish to their already polished sound and look set to make a bold bid to win over a variety music fans.
