The Color Fred

Bend to Break

Written By: Mitch Beddoe

Editor's Review:

The Color Fred is the solo-project of Taking Back Sunday guitarist/co-vocalist Fred Mascherino. While still in the same musical realm as TBS, Bend to Break finds Mascherino wearing his heart on his sleeve, with songs ranging from light opuses to urgent firecrackers, incorporating honest lyricism and chugging power chords. Bend to Break screams familiarity with Mascherino’s voice flourishing over the pervasive melodies of each track. Playing both guitar and bass on the album, Mascherino finally had the chance to step out of an overbearing Taking Back Sunday and show what he can do as an independent musician.
