Winner of The Westword's "Best Indie Pop" Award 2009
"These kids may be new on the block, but they proved their rawk prowess…Watch out for the Rouge"
- Westword
"The Rouge forced their way into the indie-rock scene with a simple give-all take-all attitude. Made with endearing melodies and angel pressed vocals. The only necessary thing they need is their updated live show dates to keep Colorado informed of when and where you can catch this electrifying posse"

SPOTLIGHT: The Rouge [Colorado Music Buzz]
Last Night's Show: The Rouge at Red Rocks
Denver band, The Rouge, is ready to crash through the gates like a freight train. The rock band has been quick to gain the skills, fan-base and local attention that most bands will take years to attain. Fronted by Joshua Vaught’s unmatched charisma and sex appeal, which exudes from every note he sings, the band never fails to make every guy who brought a date to the show a little bit jealous of their girl’s uncontrollable swooning. From the ashes of Holiday Run, Josh and bassist Jack Egan moved to Denver from Colorado Springs and worked pop sensibilities into their songwriting - 3 months later The Rouge was born. With the additions of Adam Call (guitar, keys), Mike Griffith (guitar) and Steve Voss (drums) the band has been known to out perform every act they play in front of. Their meaningful lyrics are based out of their own personal experience proving The Rouge to be authentic and honest musicians, making them all the more accessible. A very fan-centric band, they regularly post videos from Josh to their fans as heartfelt and hysterical show of appreciation for their endless support. While still a new band by many rights The Rouge has an unmatched drive and determination to pursue this venture to the fullest and with their solid formula of songwriting and structure multiplied by a thousand with their live performances a lot of industry folks are already taking notice. Influenced by artists such as Coldplay, The Killers, and Kings of Leon, the Rouge have shared the stage with Denver scene royalty Meese, Born in the Flood, Single File and Breathe Carolina. They have won the 2009 Best Indie Pop band in Denver’s Westword Music Showcase and performed at the Denver Post Underground Music Showcase to high accolades. In March 2010 The Rouge signed with Atlantic records and is currently writing for their first major label record.
