The Beauty Between [LP Black/Clear Vinyl]

RVIVR - The Beauty Between [LP Black/Clear Vinyl]

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 that’s not putting in the time, what’s the point of trying at all? And how was their set?They destroyed! You can’t deny it. There’s a mighty force within this band. And your criticisms are so obviously rooted in your own jealousy that it’s making you look like a chump. Jealous of their conviction, talent, and success; I know I’ve been guilty of all three. They spent a couple years confronting typical show situations that they weren’t 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 can’t hang, it’s probably for the best. –Daryl Gussin (Rumbletowne) A1. The Seam A2. LMD A3. Spider Song A4. Old Dogs A5. Wrong Way/One Way A6. Big Lie A7. Paper Thin B1. Rainspell B2.
