Liverpool’s rising rock force, RISE, unleashes a burst of energy with their latest single Lost For Words — a track that perfectly captures the band’s flair for big melodies, rich harmonies, and driving instrumentation. From the first few seconds, it’s clear this one’s built to light up stages.
The song opens with crisp, tightly-wound guitar work from Brian Petch, immediately setting a bold tone before the rhythm section locks in with punchy precision. Alex Mahoney’s drumming propels the track forward with relentless energy, while Sam Kinley’s bass lines keep everything grounded, weaving seamlessly with his commanding vocals. The harmonies layered throughout the chorus add real depth — that “stacked” vocal approach gives the hook a stadium-sized feel, bursting with confidence and emotion. Paul Kinley’s keyboards inject a slick melodic contrast, bridging the gap between raw rock grit and polished production. The result is a sound that feels both classic and fresh — like something you’d expect from the golden era of melodic rock but built for today’s playlists.
Lost For Words captures the rush of emotion that comes with being caught off guard — that feeling of being overwhelmed yet alive in the moment. The band doesn’t overcomplicate it; instead, they let the music do the talking, layering feeling through tone and performance rather than excess. With Lost For Words, RISE proves they’re not just another local act — they’re a band with a clear vision and chemistry that hits hard. It’s vibrant, tight, and full of life — a modern rock anthem with roots in Liverpool’s timeless legacy of melody and heart.
