A pop\/rock band (with country\/Americana influences), The Rising are from Belfast Northern Ireland, and are named after the group&#8217;s collective favourite Bruce Springsteen album (a major influence on their sound).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">EXIT were a four-piece band applauded by Kerrang magazine for their &#8220;enormous, stadium-seeking choruses&#8221; and sound &#8220;as outsized as a monster truck at Kwik-Fit&#8221;. Similarly Classic Rock magazine declared, &#8220;You can imagine watching this band on stage in a 20,000 seater arena with the crowd singing along to every word.&#8221; EXIT represented Ireland in the UK finals of US label Bodog Music&#8217;s search of the world&#8217;s best unsigned group. They finished 8th. Supporting such legends as Starsailor and Aslan on the live circuit, EXIT certainly looked like a band on the up and up.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But things change, and the band decided they wanted to make music that was more refined, less overt-rock and more subtly pop &#8211; and so The Rising was born. Now trimmed to a three-piece, they comprise\u00a0Tristan Harris on vox, Chris Logan on guitar, and Andy Morgan playing bass. Chris added mandolin and banjo to his instruments &#8211; they&#8217;d changed a lot.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Debut album <em>Coming Home<\/em>, recorded in Belfast and Los Angeles and released on Renegade Maverick Records, was engineered\u00a0by several producers, including Grammy Award winner Hank Williams, who&#8217;s known for his work with Keith Urban, Brad Paisley and Taylor Swift. The album was released in August last year with lead single, &#8220;Still Coming Home to You&#8221; released the month before.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can catch The Rising at Whelans, Dublin on April 19, where they&#8217;ll be supporting <a title=\"Sasha McVeigh \u2013 The Water Rats, London 8 April 2015\" href=\"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2015\/04\/sasha-mcveigh-the-water-rats-london-8-april-2015\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sasha McVeigh<\/a> and Sonia Leigh.
