I have scoured CD Baby for many months looking for fresh and innovative music of this genre, and I believe this is the Cream Of The Crop!
I have found and purchased many albums from CD Baby, but Blood Red Tape is by far and away the most profound yet simplistic of the lot.
I'm a HUGE fan of bands such as Tool, Deftones and Porcupine Tree, yet this album has had much more use than all others in the past year.
If i have to be brutally honest though, the first song Jebel Moon doesn't get much play time, as i find it has a bit too much Cheese Factor, but the rest of the albulm gets full play from start to finish every time!
FANTASTIC DISPLAY OF MUSICIANSHIP!

I don't think I can say anything about the band or this album that hasn't already been said. I've been following these local boys for about 5 years now and I haven't been disappointed yet. I'm so glad they've finally received the exposure that they so well deserve. I hope they continue to work this hard on everything they do and I wish them luck and continued success. What are you waiting for? ORDER THIS ALBUM!!

Hi Kenton...as I ststed in my emails, your a lifesaver with this one. This is my favorite genre of music & lately what's been out there was sorely lacking. I simply love this album and have been playing it constantly for friends & music lovers. I really shouldn't make comparisons but the last album I enjoyed this much was A Perfect Circle's 13th Step. The songs really flow well from beginning to end. Your vocals & lyrics are exceptional, the percussion is phenomenal, & love the bass tempo. I could always can pick a favoite track from any album until now. Six Degrees entertains my heart; Jebel Moon & The Simple Things spark a fire in my rock soul... there is simply not a weak song in this group. 

I know you really put a lotta hard work into this and I for one truly appreciate the results. I've been getting the word out to look & listen to this. Great work and hope there's more coming down the road.

I received this autographed album from Portal album on October 16th.. It's November 6th.. I have not been listening to anything else since. This is just to inform everyone involved with Portal of fantastic work, it seriously can't get any better than that. You guys nailed it. From start to finish it's pure excellence, it really leaves one wanting more. The talent combined when the music begins: great bass tempo, of course sick @$$ drums with the occassional head jamming beats, unique guitar riffs with a bad@$$ old school touch that i've been waiting for with this new age rock going on.. and as far as the vocals go.. words cannot say how well Kenton sings and explains views with such melody and compassion. This is one of the best bands ever... I said Tool was my favorite band of all time, but damn guys.. you keep this kind of stuff up and that will soon change.  
 
keep it coming!!!
