Release the Captive
From beginning in a bar and jam sessions to playing festivals, head lining their own shows and touring. RTC rises from the covid pandemic as a band that doesn’t stop. New single Sad Man's Parade unleashes the bands already raw and aggressive sound but also adds more to their evolution as a band. Hints of nu-metal, thrash, hip hop and modern metalcore added on top of their already impressive discography make them one of Austin’s next breakthrough acts. RTC has already shared the stage with Left to Suffer, Makari , LEVELS , Lockjaw , Dreamwake , VCTMS , and Fox Lake just to name a few and with hopes to support more amazing touring acts in Austin and in surrounding areas.
