Rival

Montreal’s hard-hitting, auspiciously-creative quartet Rival is reinventing what hard rock can sound like. Formed late in 2013 by front-man, Jeremy Helten drummer, Mike Chretien and guitarist, Matt Baker, Rival quickly fell in stride with a sound like “Foo Fighters if they were dosed with amphetamines and then shown a documentary on Howlin' Wolf on repeat for several hours.” or  “Cream meets Led Zeppelin during a bar fight.” No song get stale with these guys. Rival is truly Rock In Virtually Atomic Levels.
