Riot City Radio - On the Streets

  

EVERY WOMAN EVERY MAN
EVERYONE WHO CAN
PUT DOWN YOUR PHONE
PICK UP YOUR BANNER...
  

  Top notch street punk/oi for you today from Plymouth trio Riot City Radio (https://www.facebook.com/riotcityradio/). They've featured on here a couple of times previously, boast members of bands such as Hostile Minds, Arch Rivals, Hard Wax etc and are one of those special breed of acts that never seem to put out a bad song. 

  Their songs are usually about the kind of topics you'd expect from this sort of band, if you check out the titles on their debut album Time Will Tell, you'll know exactly what you're in for; 'Punk Rock Family', 'Never Forgive, Never Forget', 'Overcome', 'Practice What You Preach', 'Reap What You Sow' etc. There's even a track titled 'Working Class Anthem' in which they proclaim "This is our anthem, sing it now." Pretty regulation subjects to cover but performed with great gusto in exactly the manner you want from this genre. Catchy as hell, singalong earworms that'll disappoint no one. 



  It's available on vinyl from Sunny Bastard Records (180gr deluxe vinyl imitations on 500 copies in these colours: 100pcs black, 200pcs white/black marbled, 200pcs clear with white/grey/black/ silver splatter) and on cd...  https://store.sunnybastards.de/Dont-Panic-Soli-Aktion/Riot-City-Radio-Time-will-tell-LP-white-black-marbled-Vinyl-limited-200-copies::5104.html 

  Wanna try before you buy, check out the songs on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kg-yWKIs1DXfD3fAJs2XRq7LdB4VT3pDE

  This is a track they've released a video for, it's a timely song of which the band say "Sadly due to the state of both national and international politics it seems more relevant today then when we wrote it over a year ago..." It's called On The Streets...
