Biography

Later known for incorporating electronic elements into an aggressive post-hardcore sound also tainted with emo, metal, and math rock elements, Richmond, VA's Scarlet first emerged in the year 2000, peddling a far simpler metalcore style on their Breaking the Dead Stare EP. But continual musician turnover contributed to their gradual evolution toward that expanded sonic palette (in addition to a 2000 break-up and 2002 reformation), which eventually got them signed to Ferret Records. There followed releases like 2003's Something to Lust About EP, 2004's sardonically named Cult Classic album, and 2006's biographical This Was Always Meant to Fall Apart, which reflected Scarlet's recent troubles with stroke-smitten bass players and having their equipment stolen, not once but twice! Scarlet's lineup in 2006 was comprised of Brandon Roundtree (vocals), Randy Vanderbilt (guitar, vocals), Bryan Tolbert (guitar, bass), and Andreas Magnusson (drums, electronics). In early 2007, however, the constant lineup upheaval proved too much and following the departure of Roundtree, Scarlet decided to call it quits for good. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, All Music Guide

History

Scarlet formed in Richmond, Virginia in the late 1990s. In 2000, the band released its first EP Breaking the Dead Stare. Shortly afterward, Scarlet disbanded with Jon Spencer leaving to perform vocals for Virginia Beach based metalcore band, Spitfire. Scarlet reformed in 2003 with Spencer returning on vocals. Scarlet released Something to Lust About on Ferret Music. The EP served as a teaser for Scarlet's first full-length album, Cult Classic. At its live shows prior to Cult Classic's release, Scarlet would perform Something to Lust About straight through. Cult Classic was released in March 2004 on Ferret Music. After Cult Classic's release, Spencer again left Scarlet to perform vocals for Spitfire. While recording local Richmond band, Forever in a Day (FIAD)'s 2005 Demo, Andres Magnusson recruited FIAD's singer to perform vocals for Scarlet. In Mid 2005, Scarlet was reformed with Brandon Roundtree performing vocals. Scarlet released its second full-length album, This Was Always Meant To Fall Apart in January 2006. After completing a US tour in support of the record, Brandon Roundtree left Scarlet to form Conditions. Scarlet is on hiatus and are currently working on other projects. Andreas Magnusson engineers and produces music at his recording studio. Randy Vanderbilt continues to create music with his new band, Coworker.
