Rival Schools and Run For Cover Records have teamed up to reissue the band's iconic, 2001 album, "United By Fate." Rival Schools started as the once-new project of vocalist/guitarist Walter Schreifels, who as a member of Youth Of Today, Gorilla Biscuits, and Quicksand, routinely reinvented the sound of hardcore. "United By Fate" was a turning point - offering melodies rather than the abject fury and aggression of those earlier bands - and the result echoes still today serving as an influence for bands in the hardcore world and beyond.
