About Rival Schools
Rival Schools are a Post Hardcore band from New York, formed by members from several influential 80's and 90's hardcore bands (including Gorilla Biscuits, Quicksand, CIV, Youth of Today, Burn, Project X, Judge, Moondog, Warzone, Side by Side and Iceburn). The band started from the ashes of a short lived project, World's Fastest Car which had Artie Shepard of Mind Over Matter and Bad Trip fame involved, but the project went no further than demos. Apparently Walter and Artie had a difference of opinions hence the split. Artie then started Errortype: 11. * Walter Schreifels - vocals, guitar * Cache Tolman - bass * Sam Siegler - drums * Ian Love - guitar (left in 2002) The band decided to start a series of EPs where multiple groups form a single band and they looked to Jonah Matranga formerly of Far, New End Original and Gratitude. The lone result was titled Rival Schools United by Onelinedrawing, released on 24th July 2001. Their full-length album titled United By Fate was released on 28th August the same year on Island Records. Shortly after the release of United By Fate, the band released their first single, Used for Glue. The second single released from the album was Good Things. Both releases enjoyed heavy rotation on MTV, both in the US and UK. Ian Love left the band in 2002, and played as part of an Experimental-Rock band named Cardia, releasing an eponymous album in 2003. A second album was expected for spring/summer 2003, but it did not surface. However, the master tapes of the album were leaked onto the internet, comprised of eleven tracks: 01- Just a Second 02- The Perspective Reach 03- I Don't Know 04- Your Answer 05- See What You Got 06- Looking 07- Don't Change 08- Shared Information 09- Surrendering Position 10- Seems So Real 11- Get Out of This Place Rival Schools parted ways in September 2003. Schreifels formed a new band called Walking Concert, releasing an album in 2004. The second album will now be released sometime in 2006. Sammy Siegler joined Nightmare of You and briefly provided percussion for Limp Bizkit. The band reformed for shows in Summer 2008 and a new album is expected. The band was originally named Rival Schools United by Fate, after a video game, but due to legal reasons had to change their name to just Rival Schools.
