Today, we have the pleasure of premiering the newest effort from Los Angeles rock quintet Rival Tides. Slated to release this Friday, April 15, the band’s new five-track EP, titled New Rituals, offers an immense wall of sound with radio ready hooks and solid production work from Erik Ron at Grey Area Studios. Fans of acts like I The Mighty and Hands Like Houses will surely find something to love here. You can stream the EP in its entirety below.

Speaking on their latest creation, singer Robyn August tells UTG, “We created New Rituals to focus on life experiences that encompass our surroundings; including family, friends and world events. Musically, it’s an evolution of our sound, focusing more on solid songwriting and hooks, while maintaining a creative and aggressive edge. We’re so excited and proud to share it with the world!”

Digital copies of New Rituals can be purchased through iTunes. If you’d prefer a physical copy and bundle options, visit Rival Tides’ Bandcamp.
