Red Sun Rising, stylized as RED SUN RISING,[1] is an American rock band from Akron, Ohio.[2] The band often uses the hashtag #WeAreThread, which is said to be the name of the genre of music they would like to represent.

History

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 groups sound. They built a following by previewing their self-released albums over their social media websites and were touring Nationally by 2013.[3] 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.[4] 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.[5]
