Rise Above

Rise Above Records was founded in 1988 by then Napalm Death vocalist Lee Dorrian. Originally starting as a small label releasing limited edition hardcore punk 7"s, Rise Above Records has evolved over the years to become a home for an eclectic mix of underground rock genres. From Doom Metal to Acid Folk and classic styled Progressive rock and Proto Metal, the label's main goal is to release interesting music by bands they genuinely enjoy.

One of Rise Above Records' subsidiary labels, Rise Above Relics, specializes in reissuing and releasing previously unreleased recordings from the golden days of underground rock and folk music in the late 60s and early 70s.

The label boasts an impressive roster of artists including *Electric Wizard*, *Ghost*, *Witchcraft*, *Blood Ceremony*, as well as recent signings such as *Uncle Acid &amp; the Deabeats* and *Admiral Sir Cloudesley Shovell*. With their recent move towards independence in the USA, Rise Above Records now has an exclusive distribution deal through [l145493]. In addition to this, they are distributed in the UK and most of Europe via PHD. Their titles are also licensed in Japan to Trooper Entertainment.

Returning after three years with their second studio album, 
Double Dog Dare, White Dog have been revelling in a state of creative 
flux and are poised to share their revelations with the world. Formed in
 2015 in Austin, Texas, White Dog began with a shared vision of blazing,
 fuzzed-out rock that drew gleefully from their home city’s rich 
cultural melting pot. Emboldened by an us-against-the-world gang 
mentality and inspired by everything from dusty roots rock to explosive 
old school prog, the band’s self-titled album emerged in 2021, courtesy 
of natural home Rise Above Records, and immediately stood out as a 
sophisticated, earthy and characterful new strain of retro 
rambunctiousness.

Recorded over a period of eight days at Stuart 
Sikes Audio (with engineer Andrew McCalla) in Austin, Double Dog Dare 
takes all of the debut album’s deftly assembled ingredients and allows 
them to fly free, liberated from expectation. At times mellower than its
 predecessor, at others strident and ferocious, these new songs showcase
 White Dog’s organic development, with elements of everything from 
wistful southern rock to crusty-eyed jazz rock finding a place. Somehow 
even more fluid and fiery than before, this band are growing and 
expanding before our ears.

Now free to peddle their incendiary 
wares, they return to the stage with their strongest material to date, 
and a newfound enthusiasm for giving The Riff the respect and 
imagination it deserves.
