Debut album "Sneer" out October 2017. 

Rival Cinema is a collective who have come together to stand and be the voice for those who feel voiceless in this era of extreme social and political conflict. Drawing influence from respective years spent in the metal, hardcore, punk, and rock scenes, they have created a sound that is at once urgent, defiant and necessary. In a world dominated by rivalry in our media, unity is the new rebellion.

Sever The Drama is as much a mission statement as a band name. This focused, driven four-piece from Hartford, CT delivers a dynamic hard rock experience. Intricate and explosive rhythms lay the foundation for solid bass, powerful guitars and melodic yet aggressive vocals.

Since 2009, Sever the Drama has been playing stages in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York - building its fan base. High powered, tight, visually arresting performances separate Sever the Drama from the rest.

Currently in the studio working on the new album "Chasing Shadows" tentatively due out mid to late-summer 2013.
