๐ฅ ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ค๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ฐ๐ฌ : The Architects of Melodic Grit: Rival Schoolsโ Long-Awaited KEXP Session is Here.
Rival Schools have always been the masters of the "melodic crunch," and their newly released KEXP session is the definitive proof. Led by the legendary Walter Schreifels (Gorilla Biscuits, Quicksand...), the band just dropped a four-song masterclass that feels as urgent today as it did two decades ago.
The setlist is a dream for longtime fans, featuring three heavy-hitters from their 2001 cult-classic debut, 'United by Fate': the soaring โ69 Guns,โ the atmospheric โTravel By Telephone,โ and the absolute anthem โUsed For Glue.โ They also reach forward into 2011โs 'Pedals' with a razor-sharp performance of โWring It Out.โ
This isn't just a nostalgia trip, itโs a reminder of why Rival Schools remain the architects of the post-hardcore sound. Pristine audio, telepathic chemistry, and pure New York energy.
