Rise Carmine

Rise Carmine exists at the center of a genre-less world. Pulled in all directions by a lifetime of influences and a long flirtation with music school, Rise Carmine (AKA Liam Colbert) can’t help but write the kind of music that will not be contained by a single set of parameters. It’s an unabashedly eclectic sound equally rooted in 90s indie rock and new-age psychedelia, but that dabbles in anything that has a pulse. Liam writes all the music. He plays all the instruments (save for some drums). He records in his bedroom. This is the only way he knows how to do it. The upcoming album ‘Under The Red Light’ is a celebration of things that take place in the shadows - those secret meetings and sweaty unions on grungy club floors - where bodies and whispers and sweat twist and converge under flashes of light. The music is reminiscent of bands like Nine Inch Nails, Royal Blood, and Tame Impala. All set to a soundtrack that would find a home blasting out of dirty club speakers and on festival stages. Lead by driving, pulsing bass lines and lead singer Colbert’s soaring vocals, the music is all at once anthemic yet danceable, with nods to bands like Nine Inch Nails, Tame Impala, and Queens of the Stone Age. In anticipation of the LP being released in the summer of 2026, Rise Carmine will be releasing a steady drip of singles and will be heading out on the road on a central and east-coast Canadian tour in the fall. The buzzy live show has earned them recent support slots for The Mysterines, The Amazons, We Are Scientists, Lost Cousins, and Kasador, as well as appearances at Supercrawl, POP Montreal, and Wintersong.
