Background and promotion

On January 12, 2018, Rise Records released their first single "Stone" and its corresponding music video. On February 9, 2018, the band released their second single "Ten Years".

On March 14, 2018, the music video for "Unstoppable" off of Six was debuted. Bassist Brandon Stastny shot and edited the video. In a brief interview the band told of how the video was shot in their home-state of Michigan a few hundred yards off the coastline on the Lake Michigan shelf ice formations which occur every winter. The day the video was shot was the only clear and sunny day during that month so it couldn't have been more perfect, they explained. [2]
