Click to listen to Rival School's 'Eyes Wide Open'

The latest single from New York post-hardcore band Rival Schools is "Eyes Wide Open" – a fast-paced rock anthem from Pedals, which hit stores back in March. "I love the slowness of the long shots, something that seems anathema to most music videos these days," vocalist and guitarist Walter Schreifels says of the song's music video. "I also love the nods to Polanski's Repulsion, with a healthy infusion of sex and violence."  You can stream the track above, watch the official video or download the track here. You can also view Rival Schools' upcoming fall tour dates here.

“Oh Sherrie”

Steve Perry | 1984

Steve Perry's girlfriend Sherrie Swafford was actually in the studio when Perry began writing this song--his lone Top Ten hit as a solo act--with two co-writers. The trio began at midnight one night with just "Oh, Sherrie!" and "hold on, hold on." Three hours later, they had a complete song. Swafford, however, had to wait until the next day to hear it. "Sherrie actually got tired and went to bed," Perry said. She also appeared in the video, but their relationship did not hold on for long.
