Reviews
“Moving On is Country Pop/Rock with Chantelle McAteer’s vocals supported by Logan’s jangly rhythm and strong lead guitar. Hook-laden songs with singalong choruses” - 8/10 - Guitarist Magazine

“Amazing” - Gaby Roslin (BBC Radio London)

“A glorious amalgamation of Rock, Country and Folk" - Jim Gellatly (XFM/Amazing Radio)

When it comes to country-tinged pop-rock songs, there are very few who do it with as much style as Belfast’s The Rising right now. The kind of song which could dent the charts and hearts of the states given the right breaks, fans of the likes of Lady Antebellum and early Taylor Swift will lap this up” - Edwin McFee, Hotpress Magazine

“If your after big songs with big choruses then you could do little better" - R2 Magazine

“Choruses and tunes which aim for anthem status.. The Rising are definitely a band to watch.” - Golden Plec
