Ryli

Ryli is a vibrant indie/powerpop band hailing from the Bay Area, known for their eclectic and heartfelt sound that blends sharp pop hooks with a warm, anachronistic vibe. What began as a one-off recording project involving members Chen and Good quickly blossomed into a full band with the addition of Robbins and McBrayer. Their debut album, *Come and Get Me*, released in 2025 on Dandy Boy Records, showcases a dynamic mix of playful and introspective tracks like "Friend Collector," "Break," and "Medicine Speed." The band has been praised for capturing the spirit of Bay Area music history while delivering fresh, emotionally resonant songs that resonate with both long-time indie fans and new listeners alike.

With a sound described as a high-tide Bay-wave or "chime tone"-wave, Ryli's music offers a fiercely sentimental and smartly crafted take on rock and roll. Their songs often explore themes of connection, caution, and peace, such as the contemplative "Careful" and the tender "Still Night." This debut record marks Ryli as a band with both encyclopedic knowledge of pop tradition and a genuinely emotional core, setting a new benchmark for the local scene and beyond.
