RED is an American band from Nashville, Tennessee established in 2004. The band's debut album End of Silence was released in 2006, and was nominated for a Grammy Award in the category of "Best Rock or Rap Gospel Album" at the 49th Annual Grammy Awards.[1]

The album's first single, "Breathe Into Me," peaked at #10 on the U.S. Mainstream Rock chart and won the "Rock Recorded Song of the Year" award at the 38th annual GMA Dove Awards in 2007.[2]

The band has toured with fellow bands Disciple, and Flyleaf as well as with mainstream alternative metal artists, including Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle, Seether, Puddle of Mudd, and Sevendust. They have also made appearances at the teen conference Acquire the Fire.

According to RED's MySpace, they are currently working on a second album.

On November 27, 2007, RED's van and trailer crashed on Interstate 24. There was major damage to the vehicles involved, and Hayden Lamb suffered injuries that forced him to sit out on their headlining tour.[3]
