While the rest of the Riff Tiffs are off at college, frontman Chris Rehm is taking a backseat to his music, literally. The singer/guitarist of the local experimental rock group is testing his skills behind the skins (that’s drums, people) in Rise Over Ruin. The group is getting some well-deserved attention — last year, it won the Bellaire Battle of the Bands competition, which helped fund the upcoming release of its first album. Rehm carried little if anything over from the Riff Tiffs; audience members should be prepared for a math rock sound that’s void of vocals and full of hard rock, metal guitars and drums that drown out any hope for the adjective “ambient.”
