Press Reviews Review from gig in Aberdeens Northern Exposure festival:"Risingson (from Edinburgh) also have epic-rock as their speciality. Synth-enhanced, in a Faith No More style, and mad-for-it attitude of their lead singer, Rich, made a great show. Leaping up on the tables, hanging from the ceiling, and encouraging their throng on moshing fans, it's obvious Rich has no shame. Good for him."
