Red (usually capitalized RED) is a Grammy nominated American Christian alternative metal / alternative rock band from Nashville, Tennessee established in 2004.

RED was officially formed by guitarist Anthony Armstrong, bassist and twin brother, Randy Armstrong and lead vocalist, Michael Barnes. Guitarist Jasen Rauch, according to the End of Silence album booklet, is the band's primary composer. Enlisting the talents of Grammy-nominated and Dove award-winning rock producer, Rob Graves, RED signed a development contract with Graves' independent production company. After recording several demo songs, the band was quickly signed by SONY BMG imprint, Essential Records. Hendrix was fired and after an extended search, the band chose Hayden Lamb (brother of former Paramore guitarist, Hunter Lamb) as his replacement on drums. As a result of his successful early work with RED, Graves was chosen to produce the band's debut album End of Silence.

The album's first single, "Breathe Into Me," peaked at #10 on the U.S. Mainstream Rock chart and won the "Rock Recorded Song of the Year" award at the 38th annual GMA Dove Awards in 2007.

The Deluxe Edition was released the same day, featuring 4 additional tracks: Including "Forever", the "Death Of Me" music video, photo gallery and a behind-the-scenes "Making Of Innocence & Instinct" video documentary.

Red made Radio & Records history as the first band in Christian rock history to have a song debut at #1 when the band's single "Fight Inside" was released in November 2008.

The meaning behind Red's video, "Death of Me", is explained by Randy in an interview with NewReleaseTuesday.com: "We used (the) twins (and a double of vocalist Michael Barnes) to symbolize two opposing forces in the video, 'Death of Me.' In it, we see the positive side of things being chased by the negative side of things, and in the end there’s a battle. The battle doesn’t seem to resolve itself in the video. That’s because we will face struggles in our lives, even though we do find resolve in certain situations."
