Red Sun Rising

Red Sun Rising formed in 2006 when Mike Protich and Ryan Williams, who used to be high school classmates, struck up a conversation about music at a gas station. By 2007, Red Sun Rising's first line-up was formed and they were playing local gigs. In 2011, Tyler Valendza joined the group, bringing a new element to the group's sound.

They built a following by previewing their self-released albums over their social media websites and were touring Nationally by 2013. In 2014, the band signed with Razor & Tie records and released their album Polyester Zeal in August 2015 which debuted at #11 on the Billboard Hard Rock album chart. In 2015, Tyler Valendza left the band and was replaced by Dave McGarry, who was first announced as the new guitarist in a Facebook post.

Their singles "The Otherside" and "Emotionless" both reached No. 1 on the Mainstream Rock chart, making them the first band since Trapt to reach number 1 twice on their first album. Their third single "Amnesia" has so far peaked at No. 8 on the same chart.
