RIFAS - ABOUT

Four individuals with one common purpose converged to become RIFAS. Their heart-felt songs mix natural tones with vibrant electric textures, presenting rock music from a modern perspective. Singer / songwriter Evan Rifas etches out his own distinct style, weaving thought provoking lyrics through melodies in his own vernacular. Whether by walls of chords or intricate guitar voicings, Ron Huneycutt carves his mark on the soundscape as the poignant counter-punch. With polished chops and deceptively smooth bass lines, drummer Dave Parente and bassist Taylor Byrd form a rhythm section that drives the band's dynamics over the edge and into the skies. And just so you know... This is how RIFAS is pronounced: Take the first syllable of "rifle" and the second syllable of "office"... Put them together and there you have it!

This whole thing started out with a microphone in a closet, but it quickly became apparent that we were going to have to reinvent ourselves and our entire creative process in order to fully realize this album. We had to become studio engineers, music producers, graphic designers and even product distributors... essentially all of the parts of the machine. ...But at the core of it all, it was the transformation from musicians to artists that made it possible for us to take a group of songs and turn them into a cohesive work. Having reached that point, we now turn it over to you!
