Young Rival is a rock band from Hamilton, Ontario. As a unusual promotional piece, they decided to make their own flash-based video game. The game allows you to play as any of the four band members, and use a guitar to fish for points. Featuring their own music for the soundtrack, it's a modernly social way to generate interest in the band.
