Fit for Rivals is a 5 piece rock band out of Jacksonville, FL. Your first listen will probably lead you to the assumption it's an all guy band. Take another listen, listen closely to the vocals and yes the lightbulb hovering over your head clicks on. The singer for Fit for Rivals is Renee Phoenix. Her voice is deep, raspy, and a cross between Joan Jett and the singer from Bring me the Horizon. No joke. But that's what I love about her. She is not a barbie doll. She has tattoos. She does not have enormous boobs (many of the comments on their yuotube videos seem to focus on her chest size. what that has to do with music I don't really know) And she doesn't wear skanky clothes. Renee is a skinny jeans and tee shirt kind of girl and to top it off some old school beaten up chucks. The whole band (Jesse Carroll, John Hartman, Thomas Amoson, Ronnie, and Renee) is this group of laid back people who are in it for the music. They are a dysfunctional family like most bands and they're not afraid of people knowing that. I have yet to find a band that is similar to them but to give you an idea of what they sound like take Black Veil Brides and Escape the Fate. Also another band to check out is Renees other band from a few years ago is The Explicits. Kind of a side project/early on sort of deal. With any of their music I'm sure Renees voice is one you will always remember.
