San Francisco is a hard driven song laced by a melodic riff. Also from our new Ep "The New Year Sessions" this song has been our biggest hit so far.
Euphoria Rising is a straightforward rock band that shows a lot of maturity and depth for their youth and a unique and fresh sound in their talent. This five-piece from Mesa, Arizona is a well balanced mix that seems to pool their influences together and come up with a cross between garage rock, radio friendly rock, with a thread of alternative/nu-metal and classic rock, even with a guitar solo thrown in for good measure. There is definitely a focus on the instrumentation as well as the lyrics, hailing the sounds of mid 90's U2, Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, and Soundgarden, yet still having the cutting edge vibe to rival A Perfect Circle, Incubus, Jimmy Eat World, and Muse. The musicians are very skilled and the compositions of the songs are, put simply, delightfully arranged, with flowing solos, intoxicating melodies, booming vocals, and melodic rhythms. The songs all have captivating lyrics that you can sing along to, but without getting too sentimental or bothersome. This is a catchy hard pop-rock group with solid songwriting.

The band was originally formed in mid 2000 as Inreach. There isnt a lot of information about the period between 2000 and 2002, but apparently there was a hiatus of some sort, because in 2002, original members Brandon Menard (drums), Derek Stoeckmann (guitar), and Sean Chvatal (guitar) reformed the band, bringing in the rest of the current lineup, namely Dereks younger brother, Doug Stoeckmann (bass), and Jordan Donesky (vocals). A demo that Inreach had recorded in 2001 was doing well, but they felt that it didnt capture the intensity of the new lineup, so they decided to record new material with the full band. The result was The New Year Sessions.Have you performed in front of an audience?They've been playing live venues all over the Phoenix metro area for over a year. When asked about playing live, the band had this to say, "There are moments when you realize that you have just experienced something huge; something you feel has a significance you will remember for a very long time! I have experienced that a few times in my performances, and when I have, it has always been a bit overwhelming. It can be as simple as the crowd singing along to a chorus or someone's expression in response to a particular song. Playing live is the only way to truly connect."
