The Redneck Manifesto
Dublin, Ireland

In our ever fervent campaign to dominate the globe we are crossing the Atlantic this time. Already released in Ireland on Trust Me I'm A Thief Records I Am Brazil is fan-frikkin-tastic. We are most pleased to be bringing it to the US. Pensive and layered, explosive yet subtle, this record is sure to please any discerning ear. We're co-releasing this with Terrible One, BMX company extraordinaire and ever the patron of the arts.


Releases with ACGR :
I Am Brazil - 2004

I Am Brazil was recorded in Black Box Studios in France (a popular haunt for Irish acts) with producer Dave Odlum in early 2004. This is TheRedneck Manifesto with a fully realised sound, modern and expansive. From the opening oscillating pulse of the title -track they carefully craft a sweet ambient canvas and then duly rip it apart with jagged guitars. Take On Us imagines a classic Stereolab groove whirring away and embroidered with the finest of riffs and motifs. The Rednex have truly outgrown the quiet-loud impulsions of a young band, now entering a more heightened phase of songwriting and sound sculpture.

That said, TRM still flash their teeth. Break Your Fingers Laughing is a relentless barrage of metal-driven hardcore that literally pounds itself into a hole in the ground. And No Vegetable Option is epic wall-of-guitars rock. This is the sound of The Redneck Manifesto are having fun, balancing with intricacy with anarchy, Five Style hyperactivity with linear drone therapy. It's quite something. No idea what anyof the titles mean though.

Press:

“Their tight sound has become impressively expansive, melding pockets of apocalyptic noise with space-age ambient licks. ” – Tanya Sweeney for Hot Press

“... Redneck Manifesto have managed to survive the past two-year pogrom of inventiveness and lightness [of] touch. Yet here they are with their third album, another mostly instrumental work of calm, violence and ingenuity. .” – The Irish Times

“... a technically brilliant album, with songs made up of melodic jazz moments shattered beautifully by blasts of apocalyptic distortion, then skillfully pieced back together again.” – The Sunday Tribune

"Even the shortest attention span won’t wander among this catalogue of shifting tunes. Once again the Rednecks have confirmed that nobody else does melodic, rocking, stop-start and danceable (yes, danceable!) post-rock quite like them."
— Michelle Dalton for Eclectic Honey
