Our EP message directly addresses personal encounters, but also on a scale of viewing situations in another person's perspective. This band is a strategic way to voice our opinion and share it to a larger audience while still doing what we love. Our vision as a whole is to influence misguided youth in a positive direction being able to relate to our music and lyrics. Our debut EP "Visceral" now available for FREE download as of March 4th, 2014. Available on http://www.rivalsmusic1.bandcamp.com Read more on Last.fm.
