Rivalry are a melodic punk supergroup featuring the vocal talents of Mark Magill (Down And Outs, Dropout, Grampus Eight, Hey Maxine!, SSS, The No Marks), guitarist Neil 'Mackie' McLennen (Blitz, Epic Problem, Rose Of Victory), guitarist Jake McCullough (Dead Subverts, Epic Problem, Kamikaze Sperm, The Dangerfields) and drummer Pete Wright ( Broken Window Effect, Ducking Punches, I Said Goodbye, Millie Manders and The Shutup, Roshambo, The Doublecross, The Phase Problem, Visual Offence, Whiskers).
I featured a song from their debut album Sometimes You Have To Look Back in 2022 https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2022/12/rivalry-satellite.html
It was a great introduction to the band and if you missed it I advise you to check it out https://brassneckrecords.bandcamp.com/album/sometimes-you-have-to-look-back
10 years ago, Brassneck Records released a split 7" featuring Epic Problem and Minneapolis band The Slow Death. Epic problem said their fond farewells a few years ago but from the ashes came Rivalry. It seems fitting Brassneck have now released a Rivalry/The Slow Death 7". 2 (top notch) songs from each band including Rivalry's cover of Blitz's 1983 single Solar.

This is the other Rivalry song, it's a classic sounding singalong called Transistor Radio...
