The aggression and flow of metal are prominently present in the hardcore band Rise Defy. Performing original tracks such as “Shellshocked” and “Long Road Home”, they truly showcase grit and vocal prowess in their numbers while live on stage! Rhythmically, the band’s music has solid guitar sections that pertain to grunge, along with Motörhead inspired bass bits.

Rise Defy have a sound that lives and breathes rock. It’s hard rock of the garage variety, with trademark round bass that bounces and jumps up to the highs with the guitars that smash against the percussion like rogue waves.

The EP is a testament to their commitment to bring back the punk spirit. They want to create music that inspires people to rise up against the system and challenge the status quo.
