As the massive popularity of acts such as The Jackson5, New Kids on the Block, Boyz II Men, Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC can attest, people can’t resist the simple pleasure of talented young guys singing together – and it doesn’t hurt if they’re not bad to look at either. Enter Midnight Red,
a new group of exciting performers from across the country who are
carrying on that legacy by bringing outstanding harmonies and
electrifying dance moves to the pop landscape.
The
buzz on Midnight Red was so strong that they were selected as the
opening act for the New Kids on the Block/Backstreet Boys co-headlining
tour last Summer based on the strength of their digital EP One Club At A Time on 2101 Records/Kings of L.A. Entertainment/Interscope Records. After wowing audiences across America while on tour with NKOTBSB, as well as their own club dates, the guys are now gearing up for the national launch of their first single, “Hell Yeah” from their forthcoming full-length CD release.
“Hell Yeah,” produced by acclaimed hit maker RedOne (Lady Gaga, Pitbull, Nicki Minaj) is an up-in-your-face electronic
splash of pop with a driving club beat that will get you out on the
dance floor. Arjanwrites.com says "Hell Yeah!" is a hit-savvy tune by a promising new pop act that is, quite frankly, too irresistible to be denied.”

Meet the boys of Midnight Red:
Joey Diggs Jr., 22, from Los Angeles, CA, who says his father, a singer who is best
known as the voice behind Coca-Cola’s “Always” campaign jingle, taught
him everything he knows. Says Joey; “I’m ready to show the world what it
means to chase a dream and work hard to make that dream become
reality.”
Thomas Augusto, 21, from Arlington, TX, was called the “little entertainer” because “my parents could never shut me up,” he says. A fan of Beyonce,
Radiohead, and No Doubt, Thomas has spent years dreaming about being on
a huge stage doing what he loves to do. “There were always pyrotechnics in my daydreams, so I know I am on the right track!” he says.
Eric Secharia,
20, from Burbank, CA, describes himself as a “hipster” whom you’ll
never catch not smiling. Eric, who has been singing since age 6, and
dancing since age 12, plays guitar and cites Stevie Wonder and Michael
Jackson as his main musical influences. “They are two people who truly
stood out as performers that mastered their craft and used it to change
the world,” he says.

Colton Rudloff,
23, from Buffalo, NY, was selected as Midnight Red’s fifth member after
being discovered through videos he had posted on YouTube. A huge fan of
American Idol, Colton credits the show for exposing him to many
different genres of music. “I lean toward artists who have a passion for
pure singing,” he says. “There’s no need for all the smoke and mirrors
if you have a great voice.”
Anthony Ladao,
20, from Seattle, WA, is the “baby” of the group, and has been dancing
since the age of 6 and singing since the age of 12. Seeing Usher perform
at the MTV Video Music Awards first sparked his interest in dance and
“from there it became my passion,” he says.
