Slow Riot – post-punk from Limerick.
What you may need to know…
01. Emerging from Limrock‘s fertile musical underbelly, post-punk trio Slow Riot arrive with equal measures of atmosphere and songsmithery, wrapped up in sparse, yet tense production.
02. New single T R O P H Y W I F E is currently doing the radio rounds, but is as of yet unavailable for online consumption, so here’s their Cathedral EP from October of last year. T R O P H Y W I F E releases April 15th via Straight Lines Are Fine (and we’ll have it in this post as soon as it becomes available).
03. Both the EP and the upcoming single were produced by Kevin Vanbergen (The Pixies, The Maccabees, Dinosaur Pile-Up, The La’s, Biffy Clyro) at the helm. Some heavyweight company to keep, to say the least. On top of this, the EP was recorded in the Manic Street Preachers’ Faster studio in Cardiff.
04. Opening for Girls’ Names in Dolan’s on February 27th, they’ve had a good run in 2016 already, touring with synth-poppers I <3 The Monster Hero, and being named one of State Mag’s 16 for ’16.
Verdict: The new single’s a good ‘un, adding to what you hear above with a good dose of rhythmic, propulsive sensibilities. Keep an ear out for these lads. If they can maintain this momentum, there’s surely big things on the horizon.
me like! Will definitely keep ears open for release!!
