Born out of the desire to create, TJ Stafford and Caitlin Parrott began collaborating in 2014. Both prolific songwriters on their own, their unique synth-pop meets gritty alternative rock sound immediately began gaining attention. Their tracks have been featured on major television shows like HBO’s True Blood, AMC’s The Walking Dead, NBC’s Parenthood, FreeForms Pretty Little Liars and many more. The mix of emotive vocals, harrowing melodies and unexpected instrumentation create music that has captivated audiences and critics alike.
Their new single, “Fall or Fly,” begins with a pulsing beat and whispering vocals. Though the track begins in a subdued manner, their voices mingling in a breathy duet full of nuance and frisson, it explodes into a radioactive electric chorus that serves as a warning. Serrated distortion and a pounding rhythm build unexpectedly beneath layers of vocals that convey a suffocating intensity akin to the subject matter at hand—a relationship that is falling apart. This haunting track combines two incredible songwriting and vocal talents, each coming at the music with a ferocity that lives wildly in the melody. Be sure to listen to The Rigs newest single, “Fall or Fly.”

The Rigs: Fall or Fly Lyrics:
Fall or Fly

VS1
Lead me to the light
Just get me through the night
Lover
I’ve been wondering why
I’m sad but I can’t cry
Lover
You can call it sin
Just don’t call me friend
Lover
This might be the end
But you’ll be back again
Lover
CH
We live or we die
On the edge of a lie
We either fall or we fly
Yeah we fall or we fly (2x)
VS 2
Keep walkin’ down the road
Cause father told me so
Lover
Round & round we go
To where we’ll never know
Lover

Lead me to the light
Just get me through the night
Lover
CH
We live or we die
On the edge of a lie
We either fall or we fly
Yeah we fall or we fly (2x)
