Polyester Zeal is the major label debut studio album by the American rock band Red Sun Rising. It was released on August 7, 2015 by Razor & Tie. The album peaked outside the top 40 on the US Billboard Rock Albums chart and spawned five singles (three official and two promotional): "The Otherside", "Emotionless", "Amnesia", "Push" and "Unnatural". To promote the record, Red Sun Rising opened for other rock bands on their respective tours.
Background
[edit | edit source]Mike Protich explained that the album's title came from "the juxtaposition of what's cheap/obtainable (polyester) and what we strive for or what our goals may be (zeal)", and carried stories about "past life experiences," the band's journey towards the album's creation, and "nostalgic scenes" that made them who they are.[1]
Promotion
[edit | edit source]On May 16, 2016, the band was announced alongside Pop Evil as supporting acts for 3 Doors Down's summer-fall tour supporting their sixth album Us and the Night, starting on August 26 at Charleston's Municipal Auditorium and finishing on November 12 at Harrah's Cherokee Casino Resort.[2] On January 10, 2017, the band was announced alongside Badflower as opening acts for Pop Evil's Rock 'N Roll Now Tour: Right Now, beginning in Louisville's Mercury Ballroom and finishing at the Dreammakers Theater in Sault Ste.
