Romance & Rebellion with Evaride, Animal Sun, and Fames appearing at Troubadour in Los Angeles, CA 10:20pm---ROMANCE & REBELLION 9:25---Evaride 8:35---Animal Sun 7:45pm---Fames Doors---7pm Romance & Rebellion was formed in late 2015 to serve as a vehicle for the songwriting of frontman David LaViola. Originally from New York, LaViola relocated to Los Angeles in 2014. Not interested in pursuing the classic singer/songwriter career, David began writing songs for what would one day turn into Romance and Rebellion. LaViola found his initial bandmates when Aaron Medina (bassist) and Kyle Jordan Mueller (drums) responded to a post on Craigslist. Along with auxiliary guitarist Aleks Landsberger, the band began to perform around Los Angeles, becoming regulars on the Sunset Strip. The band’s first self-titled EP earned them immediate attention, landing them a spot on Van’s Warped Tour, Emo Night LA, and multiple unofficial SXSW showcases. Along with enthusiastic press from a plethora of indie blogs, R&R had made an instant impact and the stage was set for their next release. ‘Amps & Anthems’ (R&R’s second EP) saw the band expanding into new musical territories. Inspired by rock bands such as 5 Seconds to Summer, the band developed a more live, rock-influenced sound. ‘Amps & Anthems’ was produced by Lennon Leppert and mixed by Zach Cervini (5 SOS, Blink 182, Halsey, Youngblood). The EP continued to build on Romance & Rebellion’s reputation, gaining them an opening slot for Story of the Year and leading to a sold-out performance at the legendary Troubadour in Los Angeles. The EP was featured in the Huffington Post, Alt Press, and Ones to Watch. As an unexpected highlight, the band was invited to China perform a string of shows, including a performance at the Sound of Phoenix Grand Opera Theater. The success of the first two EPs left the band questioning their next step forward. Following a conversation with Richard Reigns (Drive-Thru Records), LaViola felt newly inspired to rediscover his voice as a songwriter; to feel free to be himself. The band withdrew from performing and refocused their energies on developing their new sound. Romance & Rebellion is now finally back with a new string of singles. Sonically, tapping into their love for the 90’s pop and bands like the 1975, with songs focused on LaViola’s infectious melody writing.
