Q. HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH THE
NAME RVLS?

Q. WHAT WAS THE MOMENT THAT MADE
YOU THINK “I WANT TO DO THAT?”

Kalie: When we were starting to form, we
wrote down this huge list of names, I mean
HUGE haha. We ended up going with
Rivals, then after some legal stuff we had
to change it to RVLS. We actually almost
named ourselves Dreamer and every day
we are so happy we didn’t.

Kalie: I remember this one exact show
somewhere in Los Angeles. I remember
looking out, everyone’s eyes were wide
and staring like they had never seen something so amazing. I remember it flawlessly.
I was in an extremely dark place in my life,
thought everything was crumbling underneath me, I was homeless and stressing.
That moment is what picked me up, made
me realize I had something to live for.

a bullet flying around and that’s when I
asked my mom to buy me a guitar.
