R.C. Sullivan

R.C. Sullivan is a melodic hardcore band from Groningen (the Netherlands). The band's name is a reference to the US Park Ranger called Roy Cleveland Sullivan. He survived getting struck by lightning seven times. Despite his seeming immortality, an unrequited love got the better of him; he committed suicide at age 71. This contrast between humanity’s durability against unstoppable forces one hand, and its frailty on the other, inspires the band. Unbiased, rather in search of dialogue, they try to illuminate different aspects of life. This is accompanied by melodic riffs, vehement vocals and pounding rhythms. The band originated in 2012 and consists of Hidde (vocals), Lennart (guitar), Edo (guitar), Joris (drums) en Jan Jaap (bass).
