Rival Schools

7 concerts

Rival Schools, formed in NYC, rose from '80s hardcore roots with members like Walter Schreifels and Sam Siegler of Gorilla Biscuits. Known for albums "United By Fate" and "Pedals," they melded Quicksand's intensity with melodic innovation, collaborating with Jonah Matranga for early EPs. Their powerful, creative rock defied clichés and garnered acclaim.
