RED COLLAR
Red Collar was profiled by the News and Observer as one of 8 Great Bands to watch in 2008.

	From Rich Ivey of the Independent Weekly: “With its Durham-bred dischords falling somewhere between Jawbox and The Replacements, Red Collar’s recently-released Hands Up EP is an engaging clash of post-punk angularity and anthemic rock ‘n’ roll melody, not to mention one of the best local releases in recent memory..."

THE SECRET THEATRE

" I can’t not be a part of this band.” Anyone with an ear for intrigue would most likely have the same reaction as Chris Folts did when fellow co-founding member James Bone first introduced Chris to what would ultimately become The Secret Theatre’s first demo, “Bury Me, Winter.” “I’d only heard the ground work to the song, without drums, and then James just kind of instructed me what to play,” starts Folts. “After hearing the next couple of songs he’d written, putting them together as a full band was definitely enjoyable – I knew that there was something special about it so I was like, ‘alright, I have to be a part of this band. There’s no way I can’t be.’"
