Biography
The Red Affair (later became: The Great American Beast) was a post-hardcore band from Dayton, Ohio, United States.
Formed in 2002 The Red Affair, the band's original line-up consisted of several members from A Day In The Life, an alternative rock band from the same home city. The Red Affair went on hiatus a year later, and reformed in 2004 to record the EP Memento Mori. The Red Affair was featured on the three-way split EP with A Day In The Life and Hit The Lights entitled, From Ohio With Love.
After the departure of Justin Netherly, guitarist Levi Walden took over on vocals, with three other members (Peter, Ben, and Kipp) also joining the band. After five years of playing with The Red Affair, Levi left the band to start a family, and in late 2007 the band played their last show as The Red Affair, prior to changing their name to The Great American Beast.
Along with a new name, the band took on a new musical style. Previously The Red Affair was known as a softer band, representative of genres such as pop-punk, emo, and post-hardcore. The Great American Beast, however, resembles modern metalcore and southern rock.
