AS DECEMBER FALLS

If there’s a band that live and breathe the “Go Your Own Way” DIY ethos of RISE it’s ADF. The Nottingham-based pop punkers have continually stuck it to anyone that told them how to do it by literally doing it their own way. No labels, no managers, just themselves, their tunes and a whole load of catchy choruses and tonnes of swagger. Singalong pop-punk with mature lyrical overtones and more riffage.

FFO: Fall Out Boy, Tonight Alive, My Chemical Romance

New Heat: Go Away
