Info for Don't Look Back

For fans of Dokken, Motley Crue, and 80’s Hard Rock! Red Reign is comprised of singer/guitarist Carlton “Bubba” McMichael, guitarist Stevie Shred, bassist Larry Moore, and drummer Sammy Lee. Bridging the sounds of yesterday and today, the band has issued a pair of hard-hitting yet melodic releases thus far, 2021’s self-titled EP and now 2023’s full-length Don’t Look Back, both of which have been overseen by Grammy Award-nominated multi-platinum producer David Ivory (Halestorm). The title track, “Don’t Look Back” is a standout track and features guitar legend George Lynch (Dokken, Lynch Mob). Other standout tracks are “Here I Am” and opener “No Peace No Love”. Having already shared the stage with the likes of Dokken, Extreme, Jackyl, Lita Ford and Tesla, Red Reign looks forward to spreading the word further with live shows in support of ‘Don’t Look Back.’ They are a live band, with energy that is fed off the crowd and makes every show exciting and new. Red Reign is booked in and around their native Richmond, VA and expanding tour dates throughout 2023.

"Red Reign are not, despite their promise, reinventing any wheels with their debut album but the influences reach far and wide – from ’80s hair metal through AOR and more than a little ’70s classic rock – but apart from a couple of personal opinion missteps for me, it’s all done with style and more than a little spirit. It won’t change your world in the slightest but it might provide a pleasant soundtrack to some of it."
