Fit For Rivals – “Hit Me” [YouTube Song Stream]
From the second the inimitable androgynous yet feminine growl of Fit For Rivals’ front-woman Renee Phoenix knocks you off your feet, you know: There is something special here. Indeed, in the time since the band self-released their debut album, Steady Damage, they’ve amassed a rabid fan base. The six-piece offers up a unique musical concoction combining elements of rock, screamo, pop, punk, and even some electronic flavors.
The Skinny: From the second the inimitable androgynous yet feminine growl of Fit For Rivals’ front-woman Renee Phoenix knocks you off your feet, you know: There is something special here. Indeed, in the time since the band self-released their debut album, Steady Damage, they’ve amassed a rabid fan base. The six-piece offers up a unique musical concoction combining elements of rock, screamo, pop, punk, and even some electronic flavors.
After the rapid ascent brought on by the success of Steady Damage, Fit For Rivals headed back into the studio with producer Gavin Brown (Metric, Lady Gaga, Billy Talent) to record their second album Freak Machine, to be released in early 2015 on Big 3 Records/Sony Red. The new record calls upon influences as varied as The Zombies, Massive Attack, Beck and The Foo Fighters, and builds upon the foundation laid with Steady Damage to showcase a natural evolution of a band destined for notoriety. The first single from Freak Machine, “Hit Me,” is available for streaming below.
