Slow Riot – ‘Trophy Wife’

Limerick post-punk band Slow Riot have a new single coming to follow up their impressive debut EP last year Cathedral.

‘Trophy Wife’ is a razor-sharp rock song that hits us with lyrics address about getting hit in the face from the off, before accusing the subject of twisted morals. Just your classic case of infidelity (“it’s about being in a relationship with someone for all the wrong reasons,” say the band). The real highlight is the searchlight-style guitar line throughout under the classic indie/rock vocals by Niall Clancy.

The single is out via Straight Lines Are Fine on April 15th. It’s on 7″.

Slow Riot support Girls Names on February 27th at Limerick Dolans.
