RYSE

RYSE are a small, three piece Alternative Rock band with a massive sound.
Formed in the heart of Guildford, the band's ambitious take on riff heavy music flirts with modern progressive rock and anthemic choruses. Compared to the twisted child of Biffy Clyro and Rage Against the Machine, raised on a diet of Nirvana-like angst and Radiohead-esque melodies, RYSE take glorious rock and roll back to a mainstream audience. With lyrics fuelled from obsessions with the darker side of modern technology, to the class divide and spiritual existence, RYSE write from the heart and head, directly to their fans. Since forming the band has performed across the UK and throughout the capital, including dates at some of the South-East’s most iconic venues (such as London’s The Fiddler’s Elbow, O2 Academy Islington, and Guildford’s Boileroom). After signing to 'Little Bear Records', (an independent record label co-founded by RYSE's Ricky Cooksie) 2018 will see the band playing shows nationwide, alongside radio appearances, interviews and further single releases, making sure they are one to watch in the months ahead.
