Spring is in the air...

...and we've been busy.  We're really excited that our record Animal Instincts will (finally) be available at the end of June, but you can cop it early at our Toronto release show on June 14! Check the details for that, as well as our other upcoming shows here, and mark your calendars!

We've got a few other exciting things coming down the pipe that we can't wait to share with everyone, but we've got to stay mum about those for the time being.  However, all will be revealed in the coming days.  Stay tuned!

THANK YOU!

It is official: We now can say with the utmost certainty that your friends rival boys will be plunging ahead to new adventures this year. We were so excited to announce that our EP, Ice Storm, came out this week. We celebrated with fantastic show at the Silver Dollar on Friday night.

It was marvelous to see so many faces (old and new) supporting our music and dancing their faces off on a cold February evening. We couldn't have asked for a  better night!

Apart from the release show, we also produced a brand new video for one of the songs on the record. This is an old song; written almost 8 years ago - but it has finally been given its due.
It was a first for us to produce a video completely on our own, and it was a huge challenge! We produced all the costumes, choreography and sets ourselves, and Sam was able to edit it to weird perfection.  I am hopeful that the wind-mill arm dance move will be come an RB signature...

 

We can also say that the EP is available to be streamed on Exclaim! and bought on iTunes. Please get a copy! 

We will continue to work on new music videos, and will be playing as many shows as possible leading up to the release of our full length album Animal Instincts in May. 

We can't thank you enough for all your support over these years. rival boys foreverrrrrrr!

A New Year, A New EP

Hey Folks!

As we're once again suffering through some oppressively cold winter weather, we thought it would be a great time to announce that, in spite of (or inspired by?) the cold, we've got a new EP done, and set for release Feb 25, 2014 (through Tiny Records/Maple Music/Universal)!  As we've all been waiting patiently for our album proper to be released, we've been working harder than ever on new material, and, when the Ice Storm hit around Christmas-time, with little else to do other than play music, we really hunkered down and made something special.  Even though our new Ice Storm EP was recorded and mixed over only 2 days, it sounds amazing! We're really excited for everyone to hear some pretty raw, live versions of some brand new tunes!


Be sure to come to the release show for our Ice Storm EP on Friday, February 28, 2014, at the Silver Dollar in Toronto! And check us out on Feb 1 in Sudbury, and Feb 5 in Toronto too!

A New Year, A New EP

Merry X-mas!

Happy holidays all!

Here's a video we made for a track called "Lives of Plants and Animals" off our forthcoming record!

Extra-special thanks to Planet Creature for lending their melodious voices to give the song a bit of extra kick at the end!

Enjoy!
