What can one say about the truly phenomenal band Red Sun Rising?  Since their recent release of the highly anticipated album #thread,  it seems as though this is the year for Akron,  Ohio's own Red Sun Rising to really stand out on their own.

I am a huge fan of #RSR.  Their unique blend of harmonies,  gritty guitar riffs, electric bass lines and on point beats, it all a collective unit of fine musicianship at its peak.

West Dundee,  Illinois has the pleasure of finally having a music venue which caters to the rock community outside the city of Chicago...  Rochaus is the perfect place to host astounding rock acts touring all around the United States.

On June 1st, one could feel the explosive energy emerging from the suburban club.  Many came to Red Sun Rising.   They have been on tour for over 2 months playing such festivals as Rock on the Range, Rocklahoma and Carolina Rebellion.

What I love seeing about Mike (singer) David (guitar) Ryan (guitar) Mike (bass) and Pat (drummer)

is they are true to their craft.  Lyrics which are truthful and heartfelt for example listen to   "The Other Side," and"Lonely Girl...  I love the mix of going from one extreme to the other.  On June 1st at Rochaus,  the entire audience was on their toes for the major hit "Deathwish..."

Red Sun Rising creates this atmosphere where everyone is engaged.  I look around and feel a level of commitment from every soul.  To me, Red Sun Rising is the embodiment of what a true rock should be:  They make their own rules and live by it.  #Thread.

Plus,  it also the singer Mike's birthday and it was a stellar night to celebrate such a fantastic front man with such a passion for his music!!!!

To me, this year, no one can top Red Sun Rising.  They will keep touring and leaving a trail for others to follow!!!
 
Make sure you see #Rsr ...  I highly recommend getting lost in their #thread.
