While the Sneakers never made much of an impact when they were together, the band marks

the first appearance of several seminal figures of the alternative pop scene of the early '80s. 

Chris Stamey, Mitch Easter, and Will Rigby formed the core of the Sneakers, writing well-crafted, 

guitar-driven pop rockers; their self-titled debut EP was engineered by Don Dixon, who went on 

to be a successful producer, as well as a solo artist. After one excellent full-length album, 

the Sneakers broke up. Stamey and Rigby went on to form the dBs, one of the '80s' best 

American guitar pop bands; Easter led Let's Active, as well as becoming a record 

producer (including R.E.M.'s first two albums). However, the Sneakers are more 

than a historical curiosity; although they didn't record very much, their album 

and EP contain some of the finest power pop of the late '70s

Way back in the years of punk rock and new wave, and long before there was anything defining lo-fi, 

there was D.I.Y. Such is the aesthetic, which surrounds the Sneakers on In the Red. 

Catching Chris Stamey, Will Rigby, Mitch Easter, and assorted friends, neighbors, and total 

strangers having their say in various home studios epitomizes what the do-it-yourself ethic 

was all about. Blueprints for later groups were drawn in such places as "Decline and Fall" (Let's Active), 

"What I Dig" (the dBs), and the very D.I.Y. jam on that old staple "Roadrunner," 

all showing the embryo as it was beginning to develop. 

Garage power-pop at its finest, In the Red is a delightful look at pre-fame musicians 

doing what they did just for the love of it, warts and all...(AllMusic)
