Mike Protich of
Red Sun Rising comments, "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."
"From the minute we heard Mike Protich's one-of-a-kind, huge voice to seeing
Red Sun Rising take the stage and literally flatten the audience, we knew we watching a great band ready to take on the world. We left their packed hometown show in Akron, Ohio, convinced we had seen a true star on the rise," adds Razor & Tie Senior
Director of A&R Mike Gitter who signed the band.
Red Sun Rising is Mike Protich (vocals/guitar), Ryan Williams (guitar) and Tyler Valendza (guitar). The trio, 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. The band is managed by The Elevation Group & G&G Entertainment Consultants.
Red Sun Rising joins Razor & Tie at an exciting time in the label's history as R&T finished 2014 as the #2 overall label at Rock
Radio and the #1 indie label. Led by breaking stars The Pretty Reckless,
Starset and
Attila and established greats
All That Remains and The Sword, Razor & Tie is becoming the leading label in rock.
