Red Tree Religion has returned hard with their blazing 5-track EP, Quick' n' Dirty one vicious new offering. For a timeframe of 16 minutes and 28 seconds, "Quick 'n' Dirty" is a striking proclamation of how effortlessly the band can pair the unlearned, childlike rage of punk rock with the hummable essence of Greek folk.
From the anthemic chaos of "DIY" to the raucous rebellion of "Drinkin' All Night," Red Tree Religion channels the atmosphere of a hell-raising underground show. With gritty guitar riffs, pounding drums, and unmistakably commanding vocals, it invites you to embrace the release experience.
As a bonus to the variety in the tracklist, "San Metho" is a genre-bending rendition of two popular Greek traditional songs. The band pays homage to its roots by pushing creative boundaries, putting a new, modern punk fervor behind its classics.
Fan-favorite "Hot As Hell" is a scorching anthem that captures a "Quick 'n' Dirty" unapologetic attitude. With propulsive energy and a hook that begs to be heard at maximum volume, it's the kind of track that stills the room when it comes on.
Quick 'n' Dirty isn't a collection of songs so much as it's a celebration of freedom of musicianship. Red Tree Religion's reckless pursuit of wild sound has validated the idea that rules are made to be broken and genres made to clash.
