I watched both RED & RED2 - but don't remember the song.
It DOES however remind me of punk era stuff (not a bad thing given I was there in the early Motörhead years where they sat mid-point between metal & punk) - but feel our lady is being somewhat generous with her observations.
I have to wonder how she would assess Dee Snider in any of his incarnations - but particularly the first 2 albums when they were raw, hallowed by us folks in the UK, and true to themselves.
I'm also starting to re-assess where your core tastes sit
