History

According to the band, Winston Audio "was formed in 2001, but the music they create today really began in 2006."^[3] In 2006, the band released its first EP, Come On, Hibernate, but the band remained largely silent until 2009, when they released The Red Rhythm.^[4] With the release of its first full-length album, Winston Audio has received generally favorable reviews, citing the band's unmistakable influences from 90's grunge rock.^[5][6] Winston Audio's sound has been described as hard rock with Southern rock and blues undertones.^[7][8]

The album The Red Rhythm has been taken off of Spotify. This change was made sometime between December 2 of 2024 and January 2 of 2025. (I'm sorry I don't know how to edit wikipedia pages well enough to add a good source, but I noticed this on January second and cross referenced the dates streamed on stats.fm to get the time period)
