Over the course of several releases: 2009's 'The Great Affairs', 2010's 'Ricky took the wheels..', 2011's 'Happy Ender', and 2013's '4', The Great Affairs have undergone a not-so-subtle transformation from the dusty, Americana-leaning fare of their early works to the grittier, pop-infused rock n' roll stylings of their latest.

Swapping out rhythm sections in late 2013, after a brief hiatus from performing or recording, the band acquired an additional lead voice in drummer Kenny Wright, whose Paul Rodgers-inspired turns at the mic proved a surprisingly effective foil for the more Paul Westerberg-flavored approach of singer/songwriter Denny Smith.

With nods to everyone from Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Cheap Trick, and The Cars, The Great Affairs also share common ground with the likes of more contemporary acts as The Gaslight Anthem, Butch Walker, and The Hold Steady; offering up the kind of sweaty, gimmick-free, big guitar anthems that'll rattle your brain, just as easily as they might slip into lonesome troubadour mode and soothe your soul.

From sex, addiction, and broken relationships to the calling and empowerment of performance, and the poetry of that ties it all together. Red Wine Hangover's music is drenched in driving guitars,infectious melodies,and a pounding back beat reminiscent of London's Mod movement in the late 60's. If you are tired of pretend and want a taste of the real thing, it's time for a Red Wine Hangover!
