Biography Of Road Engine Dreams
Road Engine Dreams is not just another rock band. With their classic rock n’ roll style and heavy beat, they sound ready to tear a room apart. But behind the power chords there’s different kind of message: ambition. Music is the engine that propels this rugged band down a road where they can overcome adversity and realize their dreams.

Lead singer and guitarist Chris “Ace” Cardinal always felt a connection to the powerful sound of rock n’ roll. But he didn’t relate to the simple picture painted by the lyrics of the songs he heard on the radio. So he picked up a guitar and taught himself to play, then started writing songs that explored the life he experienced as a young man growing up in a tough neighborhood on Vancouver’s east side.

Soon Chris connected with Gabe “Scumby” McCormick – whose mad bass skills made him the perfect foundation for R.E.D’s developing sound. Buddy “Buddogg” Cardinal’s rhythm guitar and smooth backup vocals round out the front line of the band. Solid in the back is the K’aajuu G’aaya – whose heavy beats radiate from the stage.

With a solid group of dedicated fans and regular appearances on local radio and the North American festival circuit, R.E.D. is poised to explode onto the mainstream music scene and take their message of strength and transcendence to the world at large.

Motivated by the crazy rush they get from a live show, R.E.D. plays every chance they get – so check out their web site at RoadEngineDreams.com for details on where and when to catch their next show.

Their self-titled debut CD – recorded at Fortissimo Sound and engineered by Doug Fury – is available online at HMV.ca, indiepool.com, amazon.ca, mtracks.com, and will soon be available on iTunes.
