Formed from the ashes of 80s and 90s hardcore bands Gorilla Biscuits, CIV, Youth Of Today and Iceburn, supergroup Rival School’s emo-tinted melodic-rock rode the wave of early 2000s alt-rock to serious success. Now a trio, their mix of discordant, Fugazi-style shredding and radio-friendly stadium rock has matured over a seven-year hiatus. Last year’s Pedals comeback was worth the wait – as sharp and belligerent as 2001′s United By Fate but missing none of the melodic charm which had them labelled as “the new Nirvana” first time around.
