Rival Schools share incredible previously unreleased song ‘You Should Have Hung Out’
Celebrating 25th Anniversary with ‘Pedals’ Deluxe Reissue and represses of ‘Found’ and ‘United By Fate’, due out 09/20 via Run For Cover Records. Fall East Coast shows w/ Webbed Wing, Hollow Suns.
Rival Schools are celebrating their 25th anniversary with a deluxe reissue of their second LP, ‘Pedals’, along with represses of its sister album, ‘Found’, and the band’s debut LP, ‘United By Fate’ all due out September 20th via Run For Cover Records. They’re sharing the music video for ‘You Should Have Hung Out’ one of three previously unreleased b-sides from the ‘Pedals’ sessions. It’s the kind of unheard gem that makes you wonder how it could possibly have been cut from the original release. From the very first notes song is an instant reminder of why Rival Schools are such a special and impactful band, combining different sounds and textures around vocalist/guitarist Walter Schreifels‘ singular voice and hooks. ‘You Should Have Hung Out’ will be streaming this Friday along with two more ‘Pedals’ b-sides, ‘Arranges Marriages’ and ‘Paranoid Detectives’. The ‘Pedals’ (Deluxe) reissue provides a much-deserved new look at Rival Schools‘ sophomore LP, with b-sides and a contemporaneous stripped down live studio session recorded in between shows on tour in Germany. The packaging features a 2xLP gatefold recreation of the original artwork. The ‘Found’ repress is a recreation of the original limited pressing, commemorating Rival Schools‘ quasi “lost” album, now available again for collectors and new fans alike, along with another new pressing the their classic debut album, ‘United By Fate’. Featuring a lineup of NYHC greats Schreifels (Gorilla Biscuits, Youth Of Today, Quicksand), drummer Sammy Siegler (Youth Of Today, Judge, CIV), bassist Cache Tolman (Iceburn, Institute) and Ian Love (Burn, Atlantic/Pacific) Rival Schools‘ trailblazing career has led the way for in post-hardcore, seamlessly blending the sheer kinetic energy of aggressive music with deeply melodic rock songwriting. In addition to the upcoming releases, band also have a run of East Coast shows with support from Webbed Wing, Hollow Suns and more. See full itinerary below.
