Rise Carmine
Rise Carmine is blowing the doors wide open on the alt-rock scene in a new genre-bending world. With an unabashedly eclectic sound equally rooted in 90s indie rock and new-age psychedelia, Rise Carmine (AKA Liam Colbert) is keen on leaning into sounds outside of the rock/alternative sphere. The debut album ‘Under The Red Light’ unearths the type of dark gritty attitude that exists only where rock and electronic meet. Lead by driving, pulsing bass lines and lead singer Colbert’s soaring vocals, the music is all at once anthemic yet danceable.
The upcoming album ‘Under The Red Light’ is a celebration of the things that take place in the shadows – those secret meetings and sweaty unions on grungy club floors – where bodies and whispers and sweat twist and converge under flashes of light. The music is reminiscent of bands like Nine Inch Nails, Royal Blood, and Tame Impala. All set to a soundtrack that would find a home blasting out of dirty club speakers and on festival stages.
Rise Carmine recently wrapped up a spring 2024 tour that took them around Ontario and Quebec, culminating in an unmissable, almost sold-out hometown Toronto release show. Their buzzy live act has earned them recent support slots for The Mysterines, The Amazons, We Are Scientists, Lost Cousins, and Kasador, as well as appearances at Supercrawl, NXNE and Wintersong.
