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]
