White Knuckled Substance by Vendetta Red
White Knuckled Substance is an album by Vendetta Red, released in 2001. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 13 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Shatterday”, on 13 lists with a best position of #31.
Seattle's Vendetta Red put out White Knuckled Substance, their second album, on October 30, 2001, a year after Blackout Analysis and before Epic came calling with their first major-label deal. Matt Bayles produced it, and Joseph Childres on drums and Michael Vermillion on bass hold down a band that sounds hungry and a little frayed at the edges.
It's emo-punk with the throttle open, and CMJ New Music Monthly singled out its upbeat stretches for tipping over into full-throated sing-alongs. "Shatterday" is the one that kept going: the countdowns grabbed it from this record, and it came back as the single from their Epic debut, Between the Never and the Now, climbing to number 16 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks. The Cut Your Noose EP followed.
