Red (also stylized R3D or RED) is an American rock band from Nashville, Tennessee, formed in 2004. The band's lineup consists of singer Michael Barnes, guitarist Anthony Armstrong, and bassist Randy Armstrong. They are known for playing Christian rock music which incorporates other sounds such as alternative rock, alternative metal, hard rock, heavy metal and post-grunge. Jasen Rauch and Andrew Hendrix were the rhythm guitarist and drummer, respectively, at the time of the band's formation. Hendrix was replaced by Hayden Lamb in 2006, who was then replaced by Joe Rickard, who left in 2014. Though Rauch left the band in 2009, he contributed to songwriting until the band's fifth album, Of Beauty and Rage.

To date, Red has released five studio albums: End of Silence (2006), Innocence & Instinct (2009), Until We Have Faces (2011), Release the Panic (2013), and Of Beauty and Rage (2015). The first two albums earned the group Grammy Award Nominations for Best Rock Gospel Album while Until We Have Faces had a No. 2 debut on Billboard 200.

Pieces (Chase & Status song)

"Pieces" is a collaborative single, recorded by British musicians and production team Chase & Status featuring vocals from British singer-songwriter and rapper Plan B. The single was released on 29 September 2008 as the lead single from Chase & Status' debut studio album, More Than Alot. The track, co-written by Ben Drew (Plan B himself), later went on to feature in Drew's first movie production, Ill Manors, with the music video also appearing on the DVD release. The music video for "Pieces" was directed by Drew, and features Chase & Status and Plan B in the recording studio, recording the track, while Plan B's ex-girlfriend destroys his flat and the trio witness it on CCTV.

"Pieces" was released as a double AA-side single with the instrumental track "Eastern Jam", which became the following track in More Than A lot. "Eastern Jam" is one of the few dubstep songs in the drum and bass album, and another one of Chase & Status's earliest hit songs. It is based on the song "Silsila Ye Chaahat Ka" (as performed by Shreya Ghoshal, produced by Ismail Darbar and written by Nusrat Badr) from the soundtrack of the 2002 Bollywood film Devdas. The track was later reproduced by Ted "Wild Animals" Chung to become the basis for the Snoop Dogg song "Snoop Dogg Millionaire", which was inspired by the similarly-titled 2008 film. The remix features singer Tanvi Shah, who is heard singing in both English and Hindi in the song.

Manassas (album)

Manassas is the 1972 debut double album from Stephen Stills' band of the same name.

"It Doesn't Matter" was released as a single and peaked at #61.Bill Wyman of the Rolling Stones plays bass on and co-authored "The Love Gangster" and is reported to have said that he would have left the Stones to join Manassas.

Manassas marked a critical comeback for Stills, with Allmusic calling it a "sprawling masterpiece" and Rolling Stone saying it was "reassuring to know that Stills has some good music still inside him".

Chart Performance

The album debuted on the Billboard Top LP's chart for the week ending April 29, 1972 and eventually peaked at #4 in June. Stills' album shared the Top 10 with an album by David Crosby and Graham Nash (Graham Nash David Crosby) and an album by Neil Young (Harvest), all collectively members of the quartet Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.

Manassas (band)

Manassas was an American rock band formed by Stephen Stills in 1971. Predominantly a vehicle for Stills’ artistic vision, the band released two albums during its active tenure, 1972’s Manassas and 1973’s Down the Road. The band dissolved in October 1973.

Formation and first album

Manassas was formed in the fall of 1971, following Stills' concert tour to support his album Stephen Stills 2 (1971). While Stephen Stills 2 was Stills’ second solo album, it was his first completed following the acrimonious 1970 breakup of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (CSNY), and was not critically well-received. After a chance meeting with Flying Burrito Brothers singer/multi-instrumentalist Chris Hillman in Cleveland, where Stills’ tour schedule crossed paths with that of the Burritos – a band that, by late 1971, had undergone multiple personnel changes and was in financial trouble – Stills saw an opportunity to change his artistic direction. He subsequently contacted Hillman, asking him, along with Burritos’ guitarist Al Perkins and fiddler Byron Berline, to join him in Miami at Criteria Studios to jam. Stills also invited several members of his touring band – drummer Dallas Taylor, bassist Calvin “Fuzzy” Samuels, keyboardist Paul Harris and vocalist/percussionist Joe Lala – to play at the session.

Manassas station

Manassas is a train station in Manassas, Virginia. It was originally built by the Southern Railway in 1914 and today serves as the penultimate station along the Virginia Railway Express Manassas Line, as well as a stop on three Amtrak trains: the Cardinal, the Crescent, and the Northeast Regional. It is located at 9431 West Street.

The city bought the depot from Norfolk Southern Railway in the 1990s and renovated it under the direction of The Manassas Museum System. Workers restored the original 1914 paint colors, repointed brick, laid new plaster, overhauled mechanical systems and installed reproductions of original doors and light fixtures. A tile roof similar to the original was also installed. The $575,000 project was completed in 1997. Today the depot has a waiting room and also houses a tourist information center and the James & Marion Payne Memorial Railroad Exhibition Gallery.
