Liam:Â Rise Carmine is blowing the doors wide open on the alt-rock scene in a new genre-bending world. With an unabashedly eclectic sound equally rooted in 90s indie rock and new-age psychedelia, Rise Carmine (AKA Liam Colbert) is keen on leaning into sounds outside of the rock/alternative sphere. The debut album ‘Under The Red Light’ unearths the type of dark gritty attitude that exists only where rock and electronic meet. Lead by driving, pulsing bass lines and lead singer Colbert’s soaring vocals, the music is all at once anthemic yet danceable.
