I just got off the phone with Dan and it has been decided that I leave the band for now. The decision is MUTUAL! As many of you know I have a two year old child and my wife is pregnant with our second. Time away on tour this year is just not possible for me.

I personally want to thank everyone and anyone who has ever come to our shows, bought our merch, let us crash on their floor, BOUGHT US BEER, booked a show, recorded our record, played with your band, gave us food, GAVE US BEER, fixed our van, or helped us in any other way. Also thanks to all the people who have told me how they enjoy watching me play. I DO.

I'm sure I will be getting into something new, I let ya know what's up. Make sure when The Ride comes through this summer you get out and support R.O.B., Dan and the new guy(or girl). Two best friends, 5 1/2 years, 3 full-length records, touring countless states and most of Europe, what more could I ask. Rock.

Steve.

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.

Red Animal War side-project Saboteur featuring Justin with Steve Visneau and Rob Marchant of Slowride and Gray Wilcox of Last Surprise is home from tour. Buy the EP here and let it kick you in the stomach. Check out the band on in Dallas on December 10th, 14th, and 16th. Show info here.

Saboteur recently wrapped up their first tour in support of their S/T EP and Mammoth Press is now streaming the entire EP at www.mammothpress.com.

The band will also be playing with Red Animal War and others at the now infamous Elm St. Tattoo Christmas Party.  The world record holder for most tattoo's given in a 24 hour period, Oliver Peck, calls Elm. St. Tattoo and Anchor Printing home...coincidentally Justin Wilson from Saboteur/Red Animal War is wrapping up work on a tattoo documentary taped during Oliver's record setting marathon.
