About Rig Time!
Rig Time! originated in Wisconsin and immediately hit the road, embarking on a non-stop tour across 44 states and beyond. Their live shows are known for their intense energy, fearless transitions, and loud decibels that leave audiences in awe. Despite being a duo, they deliver a full-band experience with their impressive vocal, guitar, bass, drums, and synth performances – all without the use of backing tracks. Their sincere lyrics and commanding stage presence amplify their raw emotion and energy.
Rig Time! has cultivated a distinct sound they call “Wisconsin Heavy,” which fuses raw aggression with a deep respect for groove. Drawing inspiration from a range of extreme genres, including hardcore, doom, and nu-metal, the band is committed to innovation and delivering an authentic contribution to heavy music.
Their latest album, “REBORN,” was released on July 29, 2022, through State Of Mind Recordings, following the success of their 2017 full-length album, “WAR,” which was released on Innerstrength Records. Currently, the band is hard at work on their next album, which they promise will exceed all expectations in terms of both lyrics and sound.
Vocalist/Drummer Bryan W. Fleming heaves malicious power from behind the kit, scowling with every word retching from his diaphragm, while rendering strong in-the-pocket grooves and doom-laden analog synth soundscapes to reinforce the impact. Guitarist/Bassist Rebecca Fleming enforces a fierce onslaught of riffs through her unique live setup, devastating the listener with a vast atmosphere, agile application, and thoughtfully calculated compositions.
Fury in Few
Fury in Few, from Atlanta, boasts an unapologetically bold, hard rock sound that appeals to Gen-Z. Drawing inspiration from indie rock, hardcore punk, and alternative beats, Brayden Gomer (vocals, guitar) and Ryan Calatayud (drums) are well-versed in playing North America’s diverse underground DIY scenes. Post-quarantine, the band has performed in over 100 shows, sharing stages with Keep Flying, Jigsaw Youth, Blurry, Neck Deep, and 10 Years.
Their latest EP, “The Titan,” released on Sakers Music in the Summer of 2022, features compelling anthems like “Kim, Would You Stop Taking Pictures of Yourself? Your Sister is Going to Jail.” and “(Metal) Piece of $h!t.”
Fury in Few’s commanding live performances are attracting a growing following of new rock fans who embrace the band’s underground declaration to ‘Rock or Die. Be Dangerous.’
