Red Animal War hits MTV's newrelease column this week as one of the releases people should actually go to a store to buy and experience instead of download.

"Red Animal War's Seven Year War: When you have more than two or three enhanced videos, that usually merits a bonus DVD — but apparently these Texans didn't get the memo. Their comp of old and new tracks has no less than nine enhanced videos to go along with the 13 music tracks, some of which were recorded with Jawbox's J. Robbins."

The enhanced cd content on Red Animal War's upcoming full-length, Seven Year War (March 21, 2006), consists of nine...yes nine...music videos and additional versions of material that does not appear on the audio portion of the cd.

The release is packed and we hope you like all the extra content.

Hello there. Thank you for stopping in and seeing what we're up to. This has been one of the most musical years of our lives, constantly recording, mixing, and touring with a ton of talented people. Red Animal War is still in hibernation, but only because the side-projects that we started took off with a bit more success than we were expecting. The War will be playing shows next year after the release of our new album, Seven Year War, but until then, please enjoy the musical offerings of The Numbers Twist and Saboteur. Cheers! Red Animal War side-project The Numbers Twist appearing live at Hailey's in Denton on Dec 11th for the Spune Christmas Show. This is a guaranteed rock show featuring a load of great bands.

The title of the album comes from the idea of collectings songs and videos created since our inception seven years ago. This is also a thank you to our fans who've wanted to hear our Hit Factory sessions, more of the J. Robbins sessions, songs only available in vinyl, and two songs recorded live in Dallas. Music videos will be enhanced and both live songs will have corresponding picture. A tour schedule will be posted upon closer reach to the release of our new album. Much appreciation goes out to End Sounds, Sony Red and Rev it Up Designs for their belief and support in our music, each playing a pivitol role in making this album available to you. Working with so many new people makes it unable to list everyone, but love is given in what little bits we can say here. We are also indebted to our fans, who have been patient as we indulge in so many musical endevours. We hope you enjoy them all.

NOTE: End Sounds is also releasing an EP from Saboteur, Justin's band with Steve and Rob from Slowride and Gray from Last Surprise. Saboteur songs are infectious and crushing. You want them playing your house party. Listen to their music here. The release comes out everywhere on Nov. 1st . Pick it up!

Red Animal War is seeking live footage of the band from the past seven years of their existence for an unspecified project.  Over the past few months, the band has obtained 100+ hours of footage from tours during the past four years, however RAW would like to see any footage you may have recorded involving the band.  Justin Wilson (vocals/guitar) has a background in professional video editing.  Wilson's work can likely be seen on your TV in the form of commercials, major label DVDs, and in various music videos.

The final result of all this footage is undetermined however some of the content will likely appear in some form in a Summer 2006 End Sounds DVD compilation, a RAW DVD, or additional RAW music videos.

Please send footage in any available format along with a description and your contact info to:
