Band Bio
Red Flames Rising began as a side project spawned by the disbanding of Devil's Playground. Musicians Harry Brooks, Brandon D, and George Parker met up with James Dominick Cooper and had immediate chemistry. Thus the birth of Red Flames Rising.
Their debut album, The Power of Energy Versus The Force of Gravity, opened to mostly positive sales and reviews. From there on out they released four more studio albums and a 'Best Of' through TooMuchTooYoungTooFast Records before crossing over to Firecharged! Records.
In later days, Devil's Playground have reunited, reducing Red Flames Rising down to just one. James wasn't ready to quit just yet. He knew there was more to his career and didn't want to disappear just because of a supposed 'band breakup'.
RFR now consists of Cooper, Mike Schmidt and Steve P. Withers, formerly of Stonekrank, and "Blood-thirsty" Jim Myers, formerly of Werewolf Concerto. Red Flames Rising have been through a lot, but it's going to take a lot more than that to bring them down.
The band is:
James Dominick Cooper-Lead Vocals
Mike Schmidt-Guitars
Steve P. Withers-Drums
"Blood-thirsty" Jim Myers-Bass
Former Members:
Harry Brooks-Guitars
Brandon D-Bass
George Parker-Drums

Sick Of Your Burden
Date Released: 3/27/2012
Tracks: 11 Red Flames Rising return with an explosive (and long overdue) new album simply called Sick Of Your Burden. The band's 8th studio album is one of those more angry, get-directly-to-the-point with no nonsense kind of albums and the message is straightforward. The song, "Sick Of Your Burden" is about continually being fed up with how others treat you and taking a stand. Other notable tracks include "Revolution Smacks You In The Face", which by the way has a killer bass solo courtesy of "Blood-Thirsty" Jim, as well as "The Bribe", "Outrageously Outspoken", and "Up Shit's Creek". Sick Of Your Burden is packed with hard rock anthems you're sure to rock out to in the car, at home, or pretty much anywhere. Rock on brothas n' sistas!

The Inevitable Return...
Date Released: 7/30/2011
Tracks: 11 The Inevitable Return of the Band Caught Somewhere Between Wrong and Right. The full title of Red Flames Rising's 7th album. Delayed several times due to guitarist Mike Schmidt's re-joining Stonekrank and working on not one but two albums with them and touring this Summer, he's been pretty busy. Nonetheless, RFR is back to rock the party this Summer. James Dominick Cooper-Lead Vocals Mike Schmidt-Guitars Steve P. Withers-Drums "Blood-Thirsty" Jim Myers-Bass Firecharged! Records |
