RIVAL SCHOOLS - UNITED BY FATE (2001)


Back in 2001, they were calling this emo. WTF??

Walter Schreifels (Quicksand, Gorilla Biscuits) fronted this short lived outfit, which put out a nice collection of outsatnding melody-filled tunes. This is probably one of the best rock albums of that year. "Good Things" is a beautiful, expertly crafted, sing-along masterpiece and the highlight of the album, as far as I'm concerned. The band broke up in 2003 but are currently gearing up for a return tour later this year.
