Band Bio:

Day Of Rising are four guys who, like almost every band, started playing together to escape the boredom in their hometown of Castellón, Spain. After playing countless gigs on their own (first locally and later all over Spain) they started supporting bigger national and international bands, sharing the stage with bands like Further Seems Forever and Last Days Of April while building a solid fan base and receiving praises from Spain's biggest music magazines such as Rockzone and Mondosonoro. At the end of 2005 Day Of Rising recorded a 5-track EP and were invited by MTV to perform an acoustic set, all while still unsigned.


In January 2006, driven by their ambition, they took a decision: to leave everything behind and move to London to make themselves a name in the UK music scene. In 2007, after a year spent playing constantly and establishing themselves, they released Unmasking St. Minver, the 5-track EP they recorded in 2005, on UK label Punktastic Recordings, receiving great reviews from the UK music media.


During this year, they have also toured all over the UK, sharing the stage with the best up and coming bands in the UK, and recently supporting bigger UK bands such as Furthest Drive Home and Elliot Minor. In September, Dani left the band to pursue other interests and Nik Parkinson (formerly of UK band Three Quarters) joined the band as their new bass player.


Nowadays, after having recorded new songs at Ignition Studios in London with producer Lester Woodward, Day Of Rising keep on playing live and still work hard to get their music to as many people as possible.
