Slow Riot have worked tirelessly since their inception towards their soaring shoegaze guitars and a lyrical darkness reminiscent of the likes of The Cure and Interpol. Gothic undertones tie together reverb laden, interwoven duel guitars and power-house drums, which are gloriously 80s nostalgia. Elsewhere, tracks like ‘Pink December’ boast a modern style more akin to The Horrors and Drenge. Though the band pour their various influences into each song, their sound is unmistakably their own, a powerful statement proving they can live up to the huge reputation they’ve earned themselves.
