THE RISE PARK "Long Winded Let Down"

The Rise Park featured Vocalist / Guitarist Matt Squire formerly of Miltown and Ashes fame. Matt's brooding and expressive brand of songmanship showed his versatility as a musician and the road that would make him become the Producer that he is today. Easily one of our favorite releases at the label, these two songs will crush your heart with the weight of the rock. The Rise Park also featured Johnny Northrup would later join The Burning Paris and form Thee Electric Bastards.
