RedBone Press

Yes, it's true. RedBone Press got busy again... and here's the result. Please welcome to the world Blood Beats: Vol. 1/ Demos, Remixes & Extended Versions, by Ernest Hardy. As fellow RedBone Press author Marvin K. White says, "Do not look behind this child's, this book's ears to see how dark it will be. You only have to listen to it cry in one chapter to know how much blacker it will grow up to be." This incredible book of essays, interviews and film and music criticism will make you re-examine what you think you know of those complicated layers of race, gender, sexuality and class. Of course, I encourage you to pick up a copy of the book and see for yourself. Congratulations to Ernest Hardy for fathering such a beautiful collection of work!
