Season to Risk is an influential post-hardcore band that emerged from the Kansas City music scene in the late 1980s. Coalescing around a sound that fused the raw energy of punk and hardcore with the nuanced experimentalism of noise rock, the band was known for their intense and often dissonant musical arrangements as well as their enigmatic lyricism. Season to Risk's self-titled debut album, released in 1992, introduced them as a formidable presence, armed with a sound that was unafraid to challenge the musical status quo. Their lineup has typically included Steve Tulipana on vocals and keyboards, Duane Trower on guitar, Paul Malinowski on bass, and David Silver on drums, though there have been several changes over the years.
The band followed up with their sophomore release, "In a Perfect World," in 1994. This record continued to build on their abrasive and complex style, yet it also exhibited a greater sense of melody than their debut. As Season to Risk's reputation grew, they remained prolific throughout the 1990s, with albums like "Men Are Monkeys. Robots Win." in 1997 showcasing their ability to evolve while retaining the core elements that defined their sound. The band’s resilience and dedication to their craft were evident as they remastered their older work, offering a fresh take on their pivotal albums such as the remastered version of "Men Are Monkeys. Robots Win." These collections, including "1992-97 Disc 1" and "1992-97 Disc 2", offer both new and longtime listeners a comprehensive look at the band's formative years. Their later release, "The Shattering," further solidified their status as underappreciated visionaries within the alternative and underground rock scenes. Season to Risk's willingness to push boundaries, paired with their intense live performances, has earned them a dedicated cult following that continues to celebrate their contributions to the genre.
