Name Origin:
Jay Buchanan explained their name:
"When we were searching for a name for our band, we had a whole bunch of different names, nothing really had the right connotation to it. We had one name with the word ‘Rivals’ in it, and another with the word ‘Sons’ in it."

"It was a cut up and we put those two words together. It’s like all the classical stories of the brothers fighting each other to usurp the throne and all that. We thought there was a tension to it and there’s a lot of tension in what we do. We are four different people and we have to battle it out sometimes even if creatively. We don’t rely on the same page very often but it tends to work out."
