Watch Rival Schools Perform For The First Time In A Decade

Pop-minded post-hardcore greats Rival Schools reissued their debut album United By Fate last year, which occasioned a We’ve Got A File On You interview with frontman Walter Schreifels (also of Quicksand, Gorilla Biscuits, Youth Of Today, and so forth). To promote the reissue, this week the band played their first shows in 10 years, starting with a late-breaking warmup gig Wednesday at Soda Bar in San Diego and followed by the first of the properly promoted concerts Thursday at Teragram Ballroom in LA. Check out footage from both shows below, where you’ll also find the setlist from LA.
