Biography
Rival Schools was formed in Newâ¯Yorkâ¯City in 1999 by Walterâ¯Schreifels, former Quicksand frontman, who served as lead vocalist and guitarist; the band also featured Cacheâ¯Tolman on bass, Samâ¯Siegler on drums, and Ianâ¯Love on guitar. The groupâs breakthrough came with the 2001 EP Rival Schools United by Onelinedrawing and the single "Good Things", which received significant MTV rotation. In 2001 the fullâlength album United By Fate was released through Island Records, produced by Lukeâ¯Ebbin, and it established the bandâs presence in the postâhardcore and alternative rock scenes. After touring the United Kingdom and the United States, the band disbanded in 2003 following internal changes and the departure of Ianâ¯Love. The group reâformed in 2008, performing at major festivals such as Soundwave and Download, and released Pedals in 2011 on Photoâ¯Finish Records; the single "Shot After Shot" preceded the album. In 2013 the unreleased material from the early 2000s was compiled into Found, which the band promoted before their final reunion show in 2013. A 20thâanniversary reâissue of United By Fate was announced in 2022, accompanied by a touring schedule that included headline dates and support slots for Thursday and Narrowâ¯Head, solidifying the bandâs enduring influence in American punk and postâhardcore music.
