RAT CITY RIOT REVIEW @ PRESSURE MAG

Die vier Männer von Rat City Riot aus San Diego, Kalifornien kommen mit einer neuen LP um die Ecke mit einem Titel, der weniger verspricht, als er hält. Dieser zweite Longplayer der Streetpunker aus dem Staat der guten Musik hat es, obwohl das ganze nix Neues ist, wirklich in sich und ist mit Sicherheit „Better than nothing“.

Die Mischung aus 77-Punkrock und einem ordentlichen Spritzer Streetpunk treibt echt nach vorne. Auch die Reibeisenstimme des Sängers und Frontman trägt ordentlich dazu bei, dass diese Scheibe ein Punkrock-Dampfhammer ist. Mit dem Opener „Better than nothing“ wird schnell klar wo die Reise hingeht. Insgesamt gibt es bei den zehn Tracks keinen Ausfall.

Alles in allem eine sehr solide Scheibe, die ordentlich Stimmung mitbringt, allerdings muss man ganz klar sagen, dass hier nix neues oder gar individuelles entstanden ist. Wer jedoch auf The Forgotten, The Wretched Ones oder Bombshell Rocks steht, sollte sich diese Scheibe in sein Plattenregal stellen.

NICE RAT CITY RIOT LIVE REVIEWS FROM REBELLION FESTIVAL 2011

We don’t hang about for too long, heading straight down to the Empress for one of Davie’s recommendations, Rat City Riot from the USA. Although they’ve released (I think) three albums to date, they’re completely new to me and blow me away with an energy packed set. They’re a five piece with a live-wire vocalist who never stops moving. He comes right into the crowd while singing one song then leaps onto the crash barrier and then straight onto the stage without a pause for breath. That’s something I make a mental note of several times across the weekend. The US bands put a whole lot more energy into their performance than their British counterparts. RCR carry this on and by the end of their set, every one of them is soaked in sweat from all the running and jumping. A top-notch version of Fugazi’s Waiting Room is dropped into the middle of the set and they finish up with a sorta theme song that features a “Rat City Riiii-ot” chant in the chorus that of course gets everyone singing along. Good stuff and a name to watch out for. I was so impressed, I went straight over to the merch stall and bought a shirt and CD. (Flares and Seagulls)
