"BIOGRAPHICAL ARTICLE"

Sun Also Rises, the talented 6-piece, post-hardcore…melodic-hardcore…screamo… which ever your preference, band is as confused as you are about what genre they should belong to. With an obvious influence of a soft, smooth and laid-back tone such as that of Copeland, and just as much an in-your-face, exploding and brutal sound that Norma Jean provides, Sun Also Rises somehow pulls off a mixture of the two.
The band started in 2003, when friends Brandon Lovelace, Zach Dumbleton, Jared Thompson, and David Bryant decided their love for music should grow into something more. Enter in Driven Stake. The band later decided to change their name as many new changes were happening to the band. Their sound slowly became catchier, and more melodic, they added two more members, Jacob Weaver, guitarist/singer, and James Harrison, keyboardist, and with these two new members, new horizons opened for Sun Also Rises.
The band soon found themselves playing in shows all across the OKC metro, and won two battle of the bands contests, one in Midwest City, the other in Shawnee. Word spread and a fan base grew quickly. With a growing fan base, local venues peaked an interest in the new sound, and soon played with many well known bands such as Vertical Horizon, Minutes Too Far, and Subseven.
A local fan base is nice, but the band wanted to grow even more, so they hit the streets and toured in Texas during the summer, signed a deal with Quickstar Productions, who distributed their self-titled album across the internet to Ruckus, Walmart.com, and itunes. The album includes more than 30 minutes of rock music with an average song length of four and a half minutes. The album begins with a piano and 7 songs later ends on a scream - diversity as promised. Because of the mass exposure, February of 07 became a big month for Sun Also Rises. The guys partnered up with One Hero Records and Management company.
Each member has their own style, and when they put it all together, a sound like nothing you’ve ever heard surmounts. You can listen to tracks of Sun Also Rises’ album on purevolume.com or myspace.com. - JASON OSER
