The nostalgia wave of emo music is hitting fresh territory, and at the forefront of this revival is Las Vegas band The Ritornello Form. Sounding exactly like a trip back to the ’90s Midwest emo era blended with the late 2000s sound, the group isn’t just revisiting old sounds; they are actively immersed in the current scene of true believers.
Their excitement is backed by a solid musical foundation. Vocalist Abby Walker also brings her rhythmic prowess to the scene as a drummer for the Vegas screamo band Febuary, demonstrating a deep commitment to the genre’s energy. The Ritornello Form has been building momentum, recently sharing stages with acts like First Day Back, Cash Only Tonys, and Holidays in United States, solidifying their place within the burgeoning scene.
This momentum culminates in the release of their debut full-length album, Majority Rule. The record drops with nine tracks, including a standout song featured on last year’s split with Stella, providing fans with an immediate and authentic taste of their sound.
To celebrate this milestone and connect directly with their growing fanbase, The Ritornello Form is launching their first full-length headline tour. This journey will take the music to audiences across the country, starting on July 12th in Los Angeles and culminating in a run through Flagstaff, Arizona.
