Red Rose Panic brings more to the stage than noise and funk. I mean, they bring the noise and the funk but their music has a bit of jazz and hip-hop too.
They are from Akron, Ohio, which isn’t too far for me to go see their live show. Red Rose Panic was in the Battle of the Bands for the AfroPunk Festival this year. They didn’t win. It’s an honor to be nominated, right?!
So please welcome Red Rose Panic to the blog!
