Consisting of vocalist/guitarist Bridge, bassist Dave and drummer James, the Boston-based trio first began making a name for itself locally with an elaborate light show that enhanced their haunting tones and gave audiences unique and intense live experiences. Bridge describes 'Force Rise the Sun' as 'ultimately a sad but beautiful love story of loss and change, of the universe and ourselves, of being elated to be here but knowing it will all go away, and trying to love better and closer in the time we all have.' While the rising sun is often connected to feelings of hope and fresh starts, it can also be a symbol of passing time, and as such, the title represents their urgent fight to exist and strive as a band.
