| Description: |
Radford University's R-Space presents The Strive in concert on Thursday, April 9th on the Multipurpose Activity Court located within the new Recreation & Wellness Center. The Strive is breaking ground with a fiery, infectious spin on today’s power-pop vibe that simply must be heard. They named their band The Strive after the fun but intense, forward thinking aesthetic they brought to their 2011 debut EP Anything Goes. Their subsequent standalone singles The Way It Goes, Sleepless, and their second and third EPs Design The Road and Caught Inside are a testament to their unstoppable progress and vibrant energy. The Strive has lived up to its name, making spectacular inroads on the indie-pop scene. Besides their formal releases, the home recorded demo track Caught Inside quickly rose to the top of the charts on Purevolume.com’s Top Unsigned Bands playlist over three years ago. This same song, reworked and rerecorded, makes its catchy appearance on their most recent EP. In addition to developing a passionate following via explosive performances at KC hotspots like the Beaumont Club and Uptown Theatre, they have performed on bills with Fall Out Boy, Taking Back Sunday, The Used, Cartel, Hawthorne Heights, Ivoryline, Madina Lake and Hey Monday; shared the stage with All Time Low and Yellowcard and many others.
