Oh, there have been many punk bands named The Riots, but these hepcats are squarely in the 1966 garage, courtesy of Freddy Fortune’s excellent Sound Camera Records. Freddy produced the 2005 "Love After" long-player. It’s full of pop-tinged mod-garage fun, highlighted by spirited organ and energetic vocals. The Riots must’ve been a wailing good time at a house party – they sound like a party waiting to happen. Pick Hits: "Broken Man" and "Hold On Me". -Timothy Gassen (“The Knights Of Fuzz”)
Broken Man
Originally edited in “Mono”, now in version “Stereo”, reedition of a treasure, of this fabulous garage band, husband-and-wife, Ryan and Casey Dawson, did in Love After a mix of soul, garage and swinging, and if you have a Vespa, now it doesn’t lack you anything to celebrate the return to the mod/swing of the 60´s. -Francisco Ratb
Move Me
The Riots are a four member band from USA and this is their brillant debut album on Freddy's Fortune label Sound Camera Records. Their music has many different sounds from 60's pop, mod, soul, r'nb, surf. The recordings were made at Freddy's house. It is one of the best albums that I've listened the last years, full of 60's authenticity. Great songs like the opening "Hold on me" the organ driven "Wasting my time" and "Move on me" and of course the hip shakin "Broken Man" that you can listen in the zine’s cd will make you jump and dance. The album closes with a fantas-tic psychedelic song "Tomorrow" with electric sitar, bongos and nice vocals. Don't miss this album for any reason!!!! -Periklis Mihos (Lost In Tyme-Fanzine Issue #3)
