About
High Energy Melodic Hard Rock
Three of the musicians in Sundog Rising (BJ, Bob, and Mike) grew up together in the same Western Pennsylvania town and bonded over their shared passions for music. After adding in the unique vocal stylings of John Jenkins, a new musical sound and aesthetic came to the band. Over the years we’ve grown comfortable jumping genres and mashing up our influences to create a sound of our own.
Creating the Sundog Rising Sound
The mission statement from day one has always been to make the sound of Sundog Rising larger than life. Reflecting on so many of our influences, we looked at other bands consisting of 3 musicians and a vocalist a what made them tick. Van Halen, Rush, Black Sabbath and so many more pointed us in the direction we needed to take, and we found it!
Looking to the Future
We’re in pre production for our 1st full length release and can't wait to share what we have created with you! In the mean time, come out to our shows to get sneak peaks of all the new songs!
