| Race The Sun calls the stage, home. With a wide range of fans not only from the US, their LP was released in Japan in '05' placing them #6 on the charts selling over 3,000 copies the first week and airplay on MTV. AP named them as one of the “Top 100 bands to know in 2005”.
Creating a plan for success, the band set out on a guerrilla marketing campaign that involved Internet marketing and taking their CDs directly to potential fans in malls and colleges. Their talent, hard work and determination helped them find immediate success as local radio stations began playing "Casted Shadow." The band succeeded in selling an astounding 3,500 copies of the EP, building a strong underground following of self-made fans.
Since the band's inception, they have amassed a large and devoted hometown crowd, largely thanks to their energetic and raw live shows. From large venues to basements, the band worked to widen their hold on audiences and to toured the East Coast where they performed with a wide range of bands, from Fall Out Boy to Spitalfield to Acceptance to Jamison Parker, Count The Stars, River City High, and The Early November.
RTS's sheer energy and passion is nothing less than sincere and is testament to their savvy sense of their pop-punk roots. Perhaps the band says it best themselves; "The music is fun to listen to and at the same time, the lyrics give a positive message to never give up... something we try to show through our willingness to sacrifice and work hard at our dream of Race The Sun."
RTS has the drive, determination and most of all the DIY attitude to turn their once dream into a reality.
