"Richmond's 'alternafolkrock' band has a new record out and the whole thing invokes a fun, light tone with songs where everyone is having a good time. Rising features some brand new stuff that I'm digging and solid updates on some classics they've been playing for years. Current favorites are 'Won't Make You Love Me' and "Say It's Not Today.'" - Andrew Cothern, RVA Playlist​

​

"WKNDR cites The Lumineers and The Head and The Heart as influences, and that modern-indie-folk style infuses this number ["Bridges"], which sounds like it should be coming from the stage of a summer music festival."  - Birch Street Radio
