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]
