Riskee and the Ridicule
GBP10.00
Riskee and the Ridicule are a tour-de-force of politics, protest and punk that rest among the motives of The Clash with relentless streams of wit, literacy and observational accuracy akin to The Smiths and the influence of the UK Grime scene. When it’s all brought together, they produce their own unique and ferocious “Grime-Punk” sound and their forthcoming album Body Bag Your Scene sees them “at their peak and most brutal yet”.
Full of fierce energy, the Kent quintet have been making big waves nationwide and around Europe since the release of their debut album in 2014, Dawn Of The Dog. The release of 2017’s Blame Culture propelled them even further with a hectic festival schedule, headline tours and a tour around North America rounding off the album’s era. The band’s latest full-length, Body Bag Your Scene (June 28th, 2019), was released to critical acclaim via Bomber Music. Boasting the diverse singles KABOOM! “In The Dark We Dwell” and “Cut Your Teeth” the album took the band on tour all around the UK and so far they are filling their 2020 with two European tours, the festival circuit and a headline show at London’s prestigious Underworld.
Riskee and The Ridicule are establishing themselves as an unstoppable live band who are not to be missed. Utilising a sound full of fun and hooks with choruses that will have their ever-growing, dedicated and raucous crowds screaming the words back at them at every show.
