Red Vox to launch new studio album “Retcon” on January 30, 2026
rly 8,000 physical album sales. Their live presence has only amplified that rise, from a packed 600-person crowd at Too Many Games 2024 to nearly 1,500 fans filling the room at Super MAGfest 2025, with more piling into White Eagle Hall for a career-spanning set. With decades of collective stage experience and a sound that shifts seamlessly between grunge, psychedelia, and synth-rock, Red Vox continue to cultivate a dedicated, ever-growing community eager to follow them wherever “Retcon” and their next musical explorations lead.
Vin shares that, regarding the album “Retcon,” there have been several retcons throughout its creation process. Initially planned as a 16-song album, five songs were ultimately cut, and two new ones were added to better align with the album’s theme and vibe. Interestingly, the album revolves around the idea of the inability to change the past, with a dystopian undertone running throughout. Musically, the album showcases a diverse range of styles, from grungy sounds from 20 years ago to electronic vibes, acoustic and mandolin-infused melodies, aggressive rock, and hints of psychedelic elements. As their sixth full-length album, the band takes pride in the versatility of “Retcon,” as it reflects their core sound while introducing new elements that have been “retconned.”
The tracklist for “Retcon” includes songs like “Reminds Me…,” “Remember,” “Crony,” “The New Flesh,” and more, totaling 13 unique tracks. Red Vox invites fans to engage with “The New Flesh,” an ambient, first-person exploration experience that doubles as a playable music video. Players can dive into a world presented through three songs from the upcoming album, encountering various characters and scenarios along the way. The experience allows fans to collect Red Vox records and explore additional songs from the band’s history, each set in a distinct environment. The game’s reception has been overwhelmingly positive and has even garnered a nomination for Best Game Soundtrack at an upcoming game awards show.
The line-up for Red Vox consists of Vin on vocals and guitar, Joe on guitar and studio production, Bill on keyboard, Jerrold on drums, and (New) Joe on bass.
