‘Time’s Up’ June 14
'Time's Up' Out Everywhere June 14th
Rival Waves embarks on a new chapter with their upcoming single, “Time’s Up,” set for release on June 14, 2024, on Lunar Drive Records.
Produced and recorded at the band’s Studio Lunar HQ, the new single represents a creative shift toward more consistent output. Embracing a more collaborative approach to songwriting, Rival Waves finds itself a more cohesive, self-contained unit, relishing in the freedom to release new music on its terms.
This Is No Drill…
Powerful lyrics, such as “Your time is up, this is no drill/the seas are rising, and the fires are raging still” and “A dream deferred, never stopping to think/living our lives somewhere out on the brink,” reflect a sense of urgency in an almost pre-apocalyptic warning.
Just For One Day…
The B-side of the single is the band’s cover of David Bowie’s iconic 1977 smash “heroes.” The juxtaposition between the two moods highlights the band’s knack for balancing dark themes with hopeful messages.
While “Time’s Up” channels urgency and frustration, “heroes” offers a glimmer of hope, showcasing Rival Waves’ desire to combat despair with a message of love conquering all.
ATX Single Release Show June 21st
To celebrate the release of the new single, Rival Waves will perform their first Austin show of 2024 on Friday, June 21 at The Courtyard ATX in the heart of downtown Austin’s legendary 4th Street District. The band will be joined by local alt-indie stalwarts MASS MINOR and the firey post-rock grunge trio Tough On Fridays.
This highly anticipated event will be an electrifying night, marking a significant milestone for the band and their fans.
