6 Day Riot - On This Island

Alternately rousing, contemplative, celebratory and epic, and always utterly distinctive.The 6 Day Riot sound simply defies being pigeon-holed, straddling folk, pop and indie genres with aplomb, an assurance perfectly encapsulated in All I Need with its inspired blend of mariachi horns, rousing chorus and propulsive, marching-band rhythm. New single Take Me is another standout; a Faustian tale built around folky jungle rhythms combined with a kick-ass, shout-along chorus. 'A Woman's Mind' is the cornerstone of the new album, combining raw, sensual lyrics with an eastern-influenced arrangement to create an epic, sultry track.Press confirmed so far:Word cover mount CD, Uncut review, Clash review, NME reviewArtrocker reviewMojo/Q (looking good for review), Times, Pete Paphides is pitching for a feature about the band.
