RedPrint, a Dutch alternative rock band, has made a strong comeback with their latest release, a powerful cover of the classic Ted Nugent song "Stranglehold"
RedPrint's version is not just another tribute, they've completely reimagined the song. Led by the captivating singer Selinde, the band strips away the bravado of the original, replacing it with a darker and more delicate version that draws you in. Selinde's touching voice brings a new emotional depth to the song, creating an atmosphere that's both intense and compelling. This isn't about flashy rock star posturing, it feels like a heartfelt call for change. Amidst the swirling guitars, a deeper story of resilience unfolds. RedPrint has gone through some challenging times in recent years, including the departure of rhythm guitarist Jacco, who played a key role in shaping their new sound. They've transitioned from playing mostly covers to creating their original songs, such as "Stop Running," "Immersion," and "Colour Me Insane." This journey has led to their name change from The Plan to RedPrint, signaling a fresh start and a desire to explore new musical paths.
With "Stranglehold," it seems RedPrint is not entirely ready to leave its past behind. Instead, they are putting their spin on it. The guitars are powerful, the mood is intense, and the overall vibe feels striking, all rooted in real-life experiences. This is a band that takes risks with classic songs while establishing its distinct sound and identity.
