behind the red door: come play with us

























Come Play with Us by Behind the Red Door

Behind the Red Door is an Athens, Georgia alternative rock band
formed in 2004 by twin brothers Jacob and Jared Marx. The band
took their name from the 2003 movie starring Kiefer Sutherland and
Kyra Sedgwick about a man dying of AIDS
.

"Our music is very dark and we deal with issues of death, violence
and injustice quite a bit," said Jared Marx in a recent interview.
"Our drummer Stacy (Roper) was diagnosed with HIV shortly after he
joined the band and that was why we wanted to name the band after
that particular movie. There's some meaning there that is too
painful to go into."

Come Play with Us is the band's third studio album and it has met
with some positive reviews, especially in the Athens music scene.
The video for the first single "Death Panels for Sarah Palin" went
viral on YouTube last month.

"That is Jared and me on the album cover," said Jacob during the
same interview. "We were about six years old. The hallway and red
door have been added in. But that's how we looked back then. Don't
ask us to tell you which one is which. Even we can't tell."
