The Band:
Edgar Campos - Guitar
Julio Samble - Vocals, Drums
Mike Saucedo - Bass
I caught Redeye factor at Bombardiers. They are very good musically, including very pleasant vocals, but they have a poor stage presence.
REF only played one set, following one set by Abinormal. They had a reasonably-sized crowd for a Thursday.
I love Julio's voice, which is very similar to Scott Stapp of Creed. and Edgar plays a great slow-hand guitar, featuring excellent vibrato. One thing I like about the band is how heavy they can play, although at a slow speed.
Musically, they kicked ass at times, but Edgar looks down the whole time, and Julio does a lot of that, too. I'll see them again, but next time, I'll probably be checking out the audience, or any TVs, instead of looking at the stage.
