Background

Leisha Hailey, having been absent from the music industry since the dissolution of her former band The Murmurs, ran into Camila Grey, who was a member of Mellowdrone, at a paintball game in 2006 and had decided to form a band[3] Alicia Warrington had originally been the third member but left the group early on.[4]

Two tracks on I See Red were later re-released on their debut album Common Reaction, Say So, first recorded with Hailey as the lead vocalist and the only recording with Alicia Warrington,[5] and Explode.

Critical Reception

In a mixed review, Popmatters states "..... The bright and sunny electropop on their debut EP I See Red reminds of Kosheen, though it’s not as radio-single-ready...... single “Say So”, here in two versions, doesn’t show the group’s full potential, though: catchy enough for a TV theme or commercial, it’s lacking the irresistible hook of a chorus that would make the group a household name....."[6]

gollark: I don't know. You postulated that long term memory had, so maybe.
gollark: Your undercooked pork example, as I said, does not work now because we can cook things.
gollark: I think it's reasonable to assign old "battle-tested" ideas *some* extra weight, but not just to discard innovations which do better in a bunch of areas because they aren't old.
gollark: Aren't those somewhat culturally determined too?
gollark: But not arbitrarily large amounts.
