(Rock News Desk) Queensryche drummer Scott Rockenfield says the band didn't come up with many alternatives when it came to naming themselves.

"We finished the four-song EP and realised we didn't have a name. So someone suggested we combined the words from our tune Queen of the Ryche, and that was it. more on this story
