Listen to The Rivals’ soothing new single “The Island”

Local blues rock trio The Rivals have recently dropped a new single called “The Island.” The soothing tune is practically a rock and roll lullaby sung by frontman Rob Swift, and is the perfect soundtrack for any breezy fall day. Simple lyrics like “Song bird / lonely is the night where you fly. / Move through / tell me there’s a way back home,” make it a peaceful, easy listen. The Rivals released two LPs, Divine Lorraine and Nomad, in 2012 and were long overdue to share new tracks. Swift and band members Wayne Gallagher, Tom Williamson, and Skip James Robinson will take the stage at MilkBoy on September 28th. For tickets and more information head over to the XPN Concert Calender. Below, listen to “The Island.”
