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 todays 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 though by definition AUTOMATIC RIVAL is a relatively new band, Wallace and Shields have been writing songs together for more than eight years. The group was rounded out in April of 2005 with the addition of Kwiatek, and the line-up recently expanded to include Pacheco. The band completed their first full-length album in February of 2006. The 12-song CD is available for purchase at all live shows, by mail order (send us a message!), for purchase on iTunes, or simply by clicking the album cover below!!!
We have recently completed our new 4-song E.P. entitled "Lies and Stories" which can be heard here on MySpace. Come out to a live show to find out how you can get a free copy of our new CD!!!

Hey Guys, been awhile... I don't know what your plans are for the 13th but if your not playing a show I am playing at Club Retro with a sweet electronic pop band from the Netherlands, it should be a lot of fun. Anyways, have a good Thursday!
Hey Nathan, I remembered the place where I saw Anberlin..at the Colonial Theater in Sacramento. Thanks for the CD, sounds great! I especially like the catchy "Take My Life." Hope to make it to one of your shows someday!
May 2009 be an incredible year for you. Remember to follow your heart's direction and don't take too many detours on the road that leads to making your dreams a reality! Stop by and say hello sometime :)

"My idea of Christmas, whether old-fashioned or modern, is very simple: loving others. Come to think of it, why do we have to wait for Christmas to do that?" -Bob Hope
