When someone recommends you a band by saying "Dude, this band sounds like Dag Nasty colliding full speed with Rites of Spring" you know you're in for a treat. I only became aware of Rain this weekend, but since getting the 6 song EP, I've been listening to it non stop. Great Revolution Summer style punk rock with a bit more of a pop sensibility...in reality I think it sounds more like One Last Wish than Rites of Spring. Regardless it's fantastic.The record was produced by Ian Mackaye and released on Guy Piccioto's record label, Peterbilt Records so it definitely fits well with the rest of the stuff coming out at that time. You need to check this out if you like the DC/Dischord sound or late 80's emo.
