Biography
Hailing from Sacramento, CA, AUTOMATIC RIVAL is a driving alternative rock band that you will not soon forget. Simply put, their music is loud, very melodic, sometimes fast, and always fun. Fronted by David Wallace (vocals/guitar), this foursome delivers a gripping sound that is truly unique in today’s world of parody. Wallace’s edgy vocals and catchy guitar riffs are supported by the solid foundation of Tony Pacheco (guitar/vocals), Nathan Shields (bass/vocals), and Jeff Kwiatek (drums). And although AUTOMATIC RIVAL has been around for seven years, Wallace and Shields have been writing songs together for more than twelve years. The group was rounded out in April of 2005 with the addition of Kwiatek, and the line-up expanded again to include Pacheco. The band released their first full-length album in February of 2006, and a 4-song EP entitled "Lies and Stories" in late 2007, which can be heard here on Sonicbids. Both releases are available for immediate download on iTunes, Amazon Music, Spotify, and most popular digital distribution channels.
