RIVAL SONS
JOINS THE PRESTIGIOUS LIST OF PERFORMERS AT THIS YEAR'S
CMJ MUSIC MARATHON
Los Angeles-based rock band RIVAL SONS will be showcasing their talents at this year's incarnation of the CMJ Music Marathon. Regarded as one of the biggest music festivals in the world, the CMJ Music Marathon sees hundreds of bands descend upon New York City each fall to play in front of rabid fans, industry professionals and influential tastemakers alike. In past years, the CMJ Music Marathon was responsible for breaking now-marquee acts like U2, NIRVANA, GREEN DAY and R.E.M. Poised to join that prestigious list, RIVAL SONS intends to put on the performance of a lifetime and stir up the biggest buzz of the festival with their down-and-dirty, in-your-face rock sound that will have people grooving at the show and keep them talking far afterwards.

Formed in 2008, Los Angeles rock and roll quartet, RIVAL SONS has been turning heads and bringing the classic blues-based rock sound back into the forefront. Their 2009 debut release, BEFORE THE FIRE was a tour de force of groove, soul, swagger and everything that's missing from today's rock scene. The website Pinpoint Music (www.pinpointmusic.com) picked BEFORE THE FIRE as one of the Top 25 albums of the year, saying, "The Rival Sons are like rock and roll defibrillators–surging electric life back into the heart of what we thought was lost."
Be on the lookout for a new RIVAL SONS EP coming this October.
