Press Quotes:
The band calls it a “sci-fi mafia love story.” This critic calls “Red Planet”, the heady sophomore CD from Boston’s Vital Might (below), a dramatic rock throwdown that blows away expectations - smart, heavy, and imaginative - Tristram Lozaw, The Boston Globe - October 2008

Grunge, metal, and psychedelic instrumentals are fused together with Andy Milk’s darkly mysterious voice in The Vital Might’s newly-released second album, Red Planet. The CD begins in an explosion of aching lyrics and heavy guitar riffs, reminiscent of Rage Against the Machine’s Evil Empire, followed pleasantly and strategically by more wistful moments that lend themselves to the experimental, psychedelic sound of Sigur Ros. Hungry moshers start your engines: These boys live to play shows. - Heather Simon - Relix Magazine - October 2008
