Listen to Limerick post-punk band Slow Riot’s debut EP
The Limerick post-punk band Slow Riot burst into our consciousness with a song called ‘City Of Culture’ that lambasted their hometown’s cultural status before following that up with a song called ‘Demons’ that channels early Interpol in the best posssible way.
The trio are releasing their debut EP Cathedral (recorded at the Manic Street Preachers’s studio Faster with producer Kevin Vanbergen) featuring those tracks and two more: the wide-open shoegaze expanse of ‘Adele’ and the slow build of ‘Cooper’s Dream’:
The EP is out on 10″ vinyl and can be got from Rough Trade.
