Stand Out Riot

"The new Stand Out Riot album, Carnival Militia, showed up in the mail yesterday and is one of the best ska-punk CDs Ive ever heard. Its like the kids in the band went to their producer, played him The Final Countdown by Europe, and said we want to sound that fucking big. Seriously - epic." "The energy is unyielding giving a fair insight to the live experience of SOR. Driving bass, clever guitar work, striking violin solos, a harmonic sax duo and percussion that will make you reach for your air-drumsticks. Its ska-core at its finest." "Stand Out Riot don't mess around - theirs is an in-your-face ska that's packed with expected excitement and some surprising turns; there's even some alt-rock twists in there." "Two Tone ska crashes into a searing metal-core slant. Stand Out Riot mingles a political edge with a quirky fun element and some bold, full bodied musicianship, oh and most importantly an enthusiasm for what theyre doing leaps out at you like a drunken lepricorn"
