RED REIGN Release EP “Live at Ardmore Music Hall” + Announce Upcoming Show with METAL ALLEGIANCE at NAMM

Red Reign will start the new year off right with two exciting announcements: an upcoming release of a live EP, while fans in the Anaheim, California area will soon get the opportunity to see the band live. On Thursday, January 22, 2026, Red Reign will be supporting Metal Allegiance at the House of Blues in Anaheim, California.

“We are beyond excited to be a part of, the Metal Allegiance show,” the band said. “Not only do we get to perform in from of great musicians, but it will be our first time Red Reign will be on the west coast. We look forward to bringing our music to new listeners and have the experience of our lives.”

Additionally, Red Reign will be attending the 2026 METAL HALL OF FAME at The Roxy in Los Angeles CA on Wednesday, January 21st, 2026. And on last Friday, January 16, 2026 they released ‘Live at Ardmore Music Hall,’ which was recorded on April 30, 2025, when Red Reign supported LA Guns. “We wanted to capture our live, energetic, raw sound,” the band explained. “In the studio, while recording songs, you feel compelled to make sure the song is perfect in a controlled setting. But live recording gives you a little more freedom to express the songs in a different manner.”

Hailing from Virginia, Red Reign comprised of members singer/guitarist Carlton “Bubba” McMichael, guitarist Stevie Shred, bassist Larry Moore, and drummer Sammy Lee. The quartet takes 80’s rock influences but steers them in a more contemporary direction. In 2023, they released their full-length debut ‘Don’t Look Back,’ which can be purchased via this link: https://www.dekoentertainment.com/red-reign

Overseen by Grammy Award-nominated multi-platinum producer David Ivory, the ten-track LP features such standout tracks as “Don’t Look Back” (which features a guest appearance by guitarist George Lynch), “Here I Am,” and “No Peace, No Love.” The band strongly feels that “All types of music lovers can find what they like in each one of our songs.” To check out the group’s music video for “Don’t Look Back,” click here:

And the feedback from the rock press concerning the album has been stellar, including Metal Express Radio saying “‘Don’t Look Back’ has a modern sounding production, giving the songs a fresh feel to them. The title track, in particular, is a solid rocker with a powerful message, which is to let go of the past and focus on the now. It’s heavy, melodic, and upbeat.” Additionally, Sonic Perspectives said, “If the album packs this much energy, witnessing it live might just transport you to another plane of existence.”
