The Strive is a Kansas City band that was formed in 2010 by a group of musicians with similar music tastes who'd met via social media.

In the last years, the band performed on bills with Fall Out Boy, The Used, Taking Back Sunday, Neon Trees, Yellowcard and have been featured on Warped Tour.

After releasing an array of EPs and singles -including Kingdom, produced by Matt Noveskey of Blue October- The Strive went into their own studio in January and started recording material for Modern Pace, their 13-track debut album, produced by the band's drummer Stacy and independently released last October 14.

Featuring the new single Subliminal Friend (watch the video clicking on the image), Modern Pace is a rock record with pop melodies and a slight post-hardcore influence, that will please fans of radio-oriented powerful pop-rock and acts like Paramore, Relient K, The Used. Stream it now on Spotify!
