New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Red Sun Rising has teamed up with Rock on The Range to premiere their brand new song "The Otherside." The band will also play the popular rock festival on May 15th and 16th. The infectious rock anthem is the first listen from their debut album, Polyester Zeal, which is scheduled for release on August 7th via Razor & Tie.
Red Sun Rising is currently on tour with
Seether and will join
Nothing More and label mates Wilson this summer (tour dates below).
Polyester Zeal was produced by powerhouse producer Bob Marlette (Black Sabbath, Shinedown, Seether). "
The Otherside" offers a glimpse of the band's melodic and anthemic sound that features lead singer Mike Protich's ferocious and unique vocals.
Protich explains the band's sound, "Red Sun Rising is what rock was built on but is not today's rock, but a new rock alternative. Subtle touches of blues mixed with the dark minor tonality of today. Our music allows the listener to travel through a song that is anything but linear. With soaring vocals we strive to find melodies that convey the passion of our thought provoking lyrical content and push the boundaries that rock today has somewhat forgotten."
Red Sun Rising is Mike Protich (vocals/guitar), Ryan Williams (guitar), Tyler Valendza (guitar), and Ricky Miller (Bass/Vocals). The band, from Akron, Ohio, came together in 2012 and is quickly becoming an Active Rock/Alternative music force. Protich and Williams grew up together and have been songwriting partners for half their lives. Valendza, the uber young, and once child prodigy guitarist has been with the band for the past 20 months and has become a key part of the songwriting team.
Additionally, Williams and Valendza have perfected their "twin guitar" vibe reminiscent of the Gossard/McCready and Delson/Shinoda partnerships. RSR is perhaps best known for the live performance and have spent the last 18 months supporting bands including Pop Evil, Seether, Sevendust, Shinedown,
Chevelle and others.
