Why Hot Beats Are Important

Rival Schools gets their name, and the name of their debut album United By Fate, from an obscure arcade game that was later ported to the PlayStation. So before I had even heard a single note played by founding member and front man Walter Schreifels, these guys had already grabbed this nerd's attention. Then I heard the record. It only took one play to cement its place among my favorite albums of all time. The album didn't leave my player for ages at a time, and the CD served as the soundtrack to my life for a good long while. I loved this band.
