Red Sun Rising

Red Sun Rising is an American rock band hailing from Akron, Ohio, known for their deft fusion of alternative rock, post-grunge, and elements of metal. The band was formed in 2007 by singer Mike Protich and guitarist Ryan Williams, who together began the process of defining the group's sound and establishing their presence in the music world. Red Sun Rising gained traction with their debut studio album, "Polyester Zeal," released in 2015, which charted on the Billboard 200 and spawned the hit singles "The Otherside" and "Emotionless," both reaching high positions on the mainstream rock chart.

Building on their initial success, Red Sun Rising continued to evolve with their sophomore album, "THREAD," released in 2018. The album reflected a diverse musical palette that the band refers to as "thread," hailing from the idea of weaving different genres to create a unique tapestry of sound. Despite going on an indefinite hiatus in 2019, the band has left a significant impact on their fanbase with a short but potent discography. Additionally, releases like "Peel," an EP which came out shortly after "THREAD," and their live cover of "She Drives Me Crazy" from SiriusXM, have kept listeners engaged with their dynamic performances and ability to reinterpret classics with their distinctive style.
