RVIVR- The Beauty Between

Label: Don Giovanni

Reissued 9/18/2026, Originally released 2013

One of the most scrutinized and adored bands in DIY punk. I recently saw them play their fiftieth show on a fifty-five date tour. If thats not putting in the time, whats the point of trying at all? And how was their set?They destroyed! You cant deny it. Theres a mighty force within this band. And your criticisms are so obviously rooted in your own jealousy that its making you look like a chump. Jealous of their conviction, talent, and success; I know Ive been guilty of all three. They spent a couple years confronting typical show situations that they werent comfortable with, and for those of us who stuck around, the music rages on. Catchy and melodic, but not without a ragged weirdness to it. My favorite new addition to the RVIVR catalog is definitely the hardcore-esque Bleed Out on the B side. But, overall, this is a truly exciting record that shows a band that has put a lot of work into not only finding, but creating, their place. And if you cant hang, its probably for the best.
