DRY RISE BIOGRAPHY
In a UK music community currently dominated with music of the emo or indie persuasion, it’s nothing short of a breath of the freshest air to discover new bands that dare to be different.
Inspired by the Britrock/grunge movement of the mid to late 90's, along with post-hardcore, pop, and thrash metal, Dry Rise blend ballsy guitar with mammoth rock beats, icing the cake with planet sized chorus hooks; creating a sound that is both excitingly nostalgic, yet confidently contemporary.
The band’s self-released debut single, "The Big I Am" / "Shattered", was recorded at Reading's Outhouse Studios with producer John Mitchell (Funeral For A Friend, Enter Shikari, Architects). The end result was a CD that prided itself on not belonging to the current norm in mainstream rock music; its bold guitar work and skyscraper melodies providing a refreshing alternative to... well, alternative.
Renowned american punksters Bowling for Soup voted the band into the final of a televised bands competition on Scuzz music channel, resulting in them winning a music video produced by Sky TV (aired each day on main playlists), a track on a Rock Sound magazine cover CD, and a lot of new fans.
Their catchy brand of rock/metal has earned them diverse support slots with bands such as Hell is for Heroes, InMe, Therapy?, X Is Loaded, Centiment (InMe members), and My Awesome Compilation. They have been included on a number of compilations, been on a skydiving competition promo DVD and have even been played on Virgin radio. More recently, top-selling fiction author Robert Rankin has featured the band in his latest novel, "The Da Da Di Da Da Code". The book features a free CD on the hardback edition, featuring the track "Sides to a Story". Dry Rise’s 2006 cover version of Kerbdog’s B-side “Dragging Through†also received high praise from a member of the very same band!
Dry Rise concern themselves not with image or the lamenting of broken High School romances, their musical manifesto merely stating a desire to rock. Watch them rise.
