Sounds like this was the song he was getting drunk for, at least... that's what he talked about during his Turok 2 stream.
Awesome either way, keep it up Vin and the gang! I love you guys!

[memz_plus]

song was so good they named a whole city after it

[kattastic]

Seven entire years later and I only JUST NOW realized "the colors black and red" are referring to _playing cards_

[eliasgorauskas]

As a resident of reno, it's weird to see pictures of the town I've lived in all my life in a music video

[BlueStigma]

For real though, if the three songs from this new album are any indication, the progress Red Vox has made since their debut is nothing short of amazing. Every song sounds distinct from one another and highly memorable, whereas even What Could Go Wrong's best bled together sometimes.

The wait is killin' me, but at least the new album will be out sooner than KH3.

[DrNotnert]

Just imagine all the people who'll come across this song by accident, and when they get to the comments it's filled with shitty memes

[drum]

Can I just take a second to say that Mike a pretty awesome drummer? He's got a knack for playing exactly what's appropriate for the song

Also, it probably wasn't intentional, but the intro to this one gives me strong Tool vibes, which is pretty sick

[hellxbabie]

it's always a good day when red vox comes out with some cool shit.

[AeridesEntertainment]

Now, we already know Vinny's vocals in this song are excellent, and they seemingly always will be, no question, but let's give some well-deserved appreciation to the band members who contributed an equal amount. Mike's drumwork in this song gives the song a heavy beat that would leave anyone constantly tapping their feet, while Joe's bass playing creates an almost foreboding rhythm, and dare I say almost menacing sound on its own to pair up with Billy's guitar work driving the song's foreboding sound home and perfectly matching Vinny's vocals. It makes the song so insanely compelling to listen to, when all parts are in harmony to produce one of Red Vox's heavier projects to date.

[noellesato]

Before song:

"So, 'Red Vox', huh? This is the band Vinny and Mike are on with? Alright, my curiosity has been peaked, I wonder how they sound, I mean Vinny seems to always mention prepping for his music work often..."

After song:

"THIS IS ABSURDLY GOOD. WHY HAVE I HESITATED THIS LONG TO SEE WHAT YOUVE BEEN WORKING ON?! THERE IS CUM *EVERYWHERE* ."

[Deltarii]

“Shelter from the raging desert sun” hits me hard as an Australian

[tumblingt]

Every song released makes me much more excited for that new album. I love how it's so different from your first two.

[partypotry]

*Lyrics* (might not be 100% right so feel free to correct me):
[Verse 1]
I woke real tired with the earth for a bed
Can't remember nothing but the colors black and red (black and red)
Black and red (black and red)
Well, a little bit of fun never hurt no one
Now I need shelter from the raging desert sun (desert sun)
Desert sun (desert sun)
Dragging my bones to the side of the road
Pounding in my head so loud it could explode (could explode)
It could explode

[Chorus]
I'm heading on back to Reno
Heading on back to Reno
All the way, all the way
'Cause I'm heading on back to Reno
Heading on back to Reno
Everyday, get away
I'm heading on back to Reno
Heading on back to Reno
And I say _yeeEEEeeEEeeE uuUuUUhHhh ᵘᵁᵁᵘʰᴴᴴʰ_

[Verse 2]
Escaping into vice in the city in the sand
What if your way is right back in my hand (in my hand)
It's in my hand (in my hand)
Lost a lot of time in the land of the drought
Chasing down a feeling that I could not live without (live without)
Couldn't live without (live without)
Desert's gotten cold in the dark of the night
Looking to the distance I can see a bit of light
Is it light?

[Chorus]
I'm heading on back to Reno
Heading on back to Reno
All the way, all the way
'Cause I'm heading on back to Reno
Heading on back to Reno
Everyday, get away
I'm heading on back to Reno
Heading on back to Reno
And I say _yeeEEEeeEEeeE uuUuUUhHhh ᵘᵁᵁᵘʰᴴᴴʰ_

[pizzarella_yt]

Funny how he says black and red in a song about a place in Nevada.
Madness combat reference

okay the song is also an absolute BANGER

[Djay_B]

Probably the most grunge-y Red Vox song out there.

[FunkyGhost]

Honestly Another Light might be RV's best album. Just about every song is goddamn gold.

[emmdirt]

This song is an awesome demonstration of every member's part of the band. Everybody seems to be doing their own amazing thing, but it meshes together so well. The instrumentation is definitely my favourite thing about this song.

EDIT: also the way the video kinda burns and the keyboard gets cut off at the end is cool as hell

[daltongill]

one of my all-time favorite Red Vox songs tbh
can practically see the heat mirage coming off of this song's vibes

[MagickGOATee]

your vocals are getting much tighter, this kind of has a switchfoot feel with the chorus. Really good job Vinny and Mike

[hithere]

You know, there are band members other than Vinny that people could praise as well.
