Appeals To
The Color Fred would probably mostly appeal to Alternative Rock lovers who also like to listen to bands like Taking Back Sunday.

Interesting Facts Fred Mascherino. Does the name sound familiar to you? Well, that's because Fred is a former member of the oh-so-popular band Taking Back Sunday! He recently left the band on October 4, 2007 to be with The Color Fred full-time. Fred Mascherino is also the supposed leader of the band (The Color FRED, get it?). Also, the band very recently performed at the Give It A Name Festival at Sheffeild Arena in May 2008. It was the band's first UK performance ever!
Sadly, this installment of Music You Gotta Hear is almost over. I hope you enjoyed reading about this week's band! Remember to come back next week for more music!
