Ramble rousing ron 'n' roll with the guitars slung low, whisky and fags aplenty, and spandex-clad chicks clawing at boys with their electric toys, RIOT:NOISE are making one hell of a noise and it's corking! It's a stampeding beast of rock with all the right moves, cliches and infectious grooves to ensure the cock rock party goes off with a bang. 'Never Wrong' is a sing-along anthem in the making, and the buzzsaw guitars and solos ensure that there's very little not to like if you're into classic rock. Now if there's a full-length around the corner, the future could be riotous! We eagerly await..... - Rock Sound Magazine - Dec 09

If RIOT:NOISE were a motorbike they'd of course be a rock n roll Harley. Four track EP 'Fight The People' is a lick and bite of high impact rock n roll. The boys get down n dirty with 'Never Wrong' and 'Save This', the guitars hitting all the right places. 'Dead Behind The Eyes' is another lusty kickin' and screamin' guzzle and 'One Chance' continues the sleaze, to round off the disc. These guys would fit into a dark, graffittied, alcohol-pouring club with ease. It sounds like they were made to take over a little stage and you'll even be inclined to punch the air as 'One Chance' reaches it's ending. This Noise is nice.

Chunky riffs and intense drumming make Riot:Noise stand out, and their brand of infectious rock ‘n’ roll stays with you long after the CD is done. It’s a testament to the band that they can take such a well-worn genre and still make it sound interesting and like their own. Lead single ‘Never Wrong’ blusters along at it’s own pace, full of dirty vocals and carried along by a stomping rhythm, it really sets a precedent for the rest of the mini-album.
Reminiscent of Rival Schools in parts, especially second track ‘Save This’, Riot:Noise leave you with a hunger that can’t quite be satiated with just these four songs. They’ve been gathering speed as a band recently, and this 4-track EP cements their growing reputation as a band to watch.

These Bristol sleaze-rockers are all about massive guitars and sneering vocals: basically rockin' out! Guitarists Ash & Scott sling their Les Pauls low and get high on a combo of dirty GNR - influenced riffs and bags of attitude.

Ramble rousing rock n roll with the guitars slung low, whisky and cigarrettes aplenty, and spandex-clad chicks clawing at boys with their electric toys, RIOT:NOISE are making one hell of a noise – and it’s corking! It’s a stampeding beast of rock, with all the right moves, cliches and infectious grooves to ensure the party goes off with a bang. Never Wrong is a sing-along anthem in the making, and the buzzsaw guitars and solos ensure that there’s very little not to like if you’re into classic rock. Now if there’s a full-length around the corner, the future could be riotous! We eagerly await…….

The Bristol rockers are all about massive guitars and sneering vocals ; basically rockin’ out! Guitarists Ash and Scott sling their Les Pauls low and get high on a combo of dirty GNR influenced riffs and bags of attitude. Amazing!

Bio
Since their inception in 2007, RIOT:NOISE have worked tirelessly. Touring and sharing stages with the likes of Duff McKagan’s Loaded, The Blackout, Electric Eel Shock, Motorhead, GUN, Electric Six, Young Heart Attack, Zico Chain and countless others. They have also rocked out at Bulldog Bash three times and played the Birmingahm NEC as part of Music Live. (Infact at this latter event the band performed an acoustic set for Kerrang Radio which resulted in the biggest signing session of the event other than for Dave Mustaine)!
In 2008 with less than a year as a gigging band, the quintet even headed out to the US for an extensive tour which took in California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. The tour included a performance at the Cat Club on the world famous Sunset Strip with a celebrity packed audience of rock royalty!
Already drawing praise from many of the most influential voices in rock, RIOT:NOISE look all set to make their presence felt.
2009's 'Fight The People' EP was followed by 3 years of constant touring. The band finally hit the studio in November 2012 to record their debut full length album 'Stand For Something' which was released to critical accalim on June 3rd 2013.
