Noah James obtained a Roland-2480 digital 24 track in 2002. At the time Noah, 19, recorded twenty some songs over the period of one year. The songs contained dynamically layered vocals, keyboards, acoustic guitars, electric guitars, banjos, bongos, and harmonicas. Noah went to college in 2003 at Trevecca Nazarene University in Nashville, PA to study Music Business but eventually dropped out to focus on a full time band.

Eventually Noah looked for uniquely talented musicians to perform his previously recorded songs. Gordon Travis, and Don H. met up with Noah through the course of friends. They began a folk punk band called Black Rose Dream. They resided in Harrisburg, PA during 2004 and performed locally.

After a two year break the band got back together with a new line up in 2006 and changed their name to The Red Frontier. This name is a reference to the death, depression, and torture people underwent through out the discovery of The Americas. The Red Frontier say that their name is "by no means a political stance".

They also expanded their lineup from a three piece to a sextet acquiring a violin player, Kasey Marie, a keyboardist, Lake O., and a xylophonist, Darren M. All members play more than one instrument during their live set including Roland-SPDS (Don), harmonica (Gordon), tambourine (Gordon), secondary keys (Kasey), rhythm guitar (Lake), lead guitar (Noah), and banjo (Noah).

Despite the infusion of additional folk oriented instruments they were trying to a achieve a more technical and aggressive sound overall forcing them into their own folk infused hardcore genre.

In 2007 The Red Frontier traveled to Cornerstone Festival, and performed songs from their first unreleased CD, "Cut The Crows Tongue".
