Pigeon Opinion Featuring a Review of ALWAYS by RISE

RISE’s 2026 release “Always” is a powerful statement, showcasing the band at their most focused and confident. The song is driven by sharp, expressive guitar work from Brian Petch, along with a great vocal performance by stayMellow. The production is clean, dynamic, and effective, allowing the blend of synths and guitars to shine without losing any punch along the way.

Hailing from Liverpool, RISE are once again perfecting their sound, a blend of high-tempo rock, hooks, and subtle progressive elements. The rhythm section is tight, keeping things moving, while the keys add a sense of atmosphere.
