The raw energy invested into their debut, self-titled EP is directly reflected on and off stage by Rise Among Rivals, a new modern rock group based out of Baltimore MD. The expression of their music in such an honest way has always been a priority from day one for the band since forming in the summer of 2017. With a strong focus of heavy riffs, melodic vocals, and complex dynamics, Rise Among Rivals ties together their favorite pieces from hard rock and electronic music. After each member left previous projects, vocalist, David Gascon and drummer, Christopher Tepper started recording together, later joined by guitarist, Jim Poggi and bassist, Jamey McElroy to complete their line-up. In September after only 2 months of writing, recording, and practice, they ventured onto their first tour with National Recording artist, Flaw, which had them travelling from Tennessee to Rhode Island on a week-long adventure.
Their EP is scheduled to release in early summer of 2018. The six song EP is a direct representation of the bands cohesive vision starting with their music and stemming to their live set and branding. The band believes that the distance between your dreams and reality is action, which is why they have been pushing their music in every way since the day they stepped foot in their practice space. This EP features songs that reveal a hidden desire to seek refuge in listeners ears by coping with conflict, lust, and love. Rise Among Rivals intends on pushing this EP and future music to all possible digital outlets and continue to provide music regularly to fans.
