Ritual

Ritual is an Austin alternative-rock group formed in 2023 on Sunday Drive Records—songwriters raised on Helmet, Hum, and Smashing Pumpkins who also grew up in modern hardcore, metalcore, and shoegaze rooms. The Closing In 12” and Your Touch 7” deliver hook after hook with youthful volume, emotional contrast, and a live push that invites both jump and headbang in the same set.

Texas stages from Mohawk to Deep Ellum and support slots with Blossom and Sledges put the catalog on the road. Expect big choruses and guitar weight. Stream Your Touch and Closing In, watch the live Ruins set, and follow @ritual_alt for vinyl, shirts, and tour dates as Sunday Drive keeps the drops coming.
