Rye Coalition might be the hardest working band you've never heard of. Sensations of the punk/hardcore scene of the '90s, the early aughts saw them reaching for bigger heights, recording albums with Steve Albini and Dave Grohl, and touring with bands like Foo Fighters, Queens Of The Stone Age, and The Mars Volta.
