О группе:Rival Schools were a short-lived post-hardcore band from New York, featuring Walter Schreifels on vocals and guitar; Ian Love on guitar; Cache Tolman on bass guitar; and Sam Siegler on drums.
Formed by Schreifels, frontman of the highly-influential Quicksand, Rival Schools were a hardcore 'supergroup' - its members being alumni of such '80s and '90s hardcore bands as Gorilla Biscuits (Schreifels), CIV (Siegler), Youth of Today (Schreifels and Siegler) and Iceburn (Tolman).
The band's name (and that of their only LP) comes from the Capcom fighting game, Rival Schools: United By Fate. In their short time, they toured both the United Kingdom, supporting A, and the United States.
As of 2008, the band have reformed to play some live shows, including Rock Am Ring in Germany, Hove Festival in Norway and a headline tour and Download Festival in the United Kingdom and have been writing new material.
Rival School's first release was based around the concept of a series of EPs where multiple groups would come together to form a single band. For this, they teamed up with former Far leadman, Jonah Matranga. The lone result of this experiment was titled Rival Schools United by Onelinedrawing, released on 24th July 2001 by Schreifels' Some Records.
Their full-length album, United by Fate, was produced by the Grammy-nominated Luke Ebbin and released on 28th August 2001. Due to obligations from Schreifels' time with Quicksand, the album was released by Island Records. Two songs from the album saw release as singles: "Used for Glue" closely followed the album's release, with "Good Things" coming later. Both songs enjoyed heavy rotation on MTV in the US and UK.
The band went down when member Ian Love left the band in 2002. In between touring with the band, he'd formed Cardia and eventually left to focus on them. Regardless, a second album was expected for Spring/Summer 2003, but never surfaced commercially (the master tapes, comprising 11 songs, were later leaked onto the Internet). The rest of the band parted ways in September 2003: Schreifels went on to form Walking Concert; Love recorded a self-titled solo album in 2006, released on Limekiln Records; Tolman went on play with Institute; and Siegler joined Nightmare of You and briefly provided percussion for Limp Bizkit.
Despite the band's dissolution, rumours persisted that a new Rival Schools album would be released. This album would presumably be the never-released second LP, however other suggestions have been of an album of B-sides and unreleased songs or of an album of new material, performed by a reformed Rival Schools. Schreifels himself mentioned the likelihood of a new album, with it being mooted for late 2006, although it is yet to surface.
On April 9, 2008 the German Rock am Ring rock music festival announced that Rival Schools, will perform at the festival on June 8, 2008. The band will also play the second stage of the Download Festival in Donington, UK on the same day Kiss headline. The band recently advertised a 5 date UK tour in Kerrang! Magazine (7th May 2008), and set up an official Myspace page, on which Schreifels revealed the band were writing new material.

мелодика очень классная, вокал и звук стали лучше, чистый Рэд же или BB? С прошлых работ мне по паре треков максимум нравились. а тут в целом без проходняка, даже кол-во треков не напрягло, пролетели мгновенно. Это в топ года для меня, несомненно! спасибо за этот альбом! Работай в этом же направлении.
