Release Notes:
"Riviera Kid is a DIY punk band from Kent, England who share a bass player with
MelisandreÆs Beaver (the band that released one of our top 43 albums of 2018).
TheyÆve just released their first EP, ItÆs Not A Matter Of A or B.
Opening with the intense and powerful, Building A Disco, a screaming guitar lick
drives the track as the rhythm section pounds out a strong, headbanging beat and
the vocals add to the urgency and energy combining the sounds of the Chapman
Family, Idles and Black Flag!
On Black Dot, Riviera Kid a booming bass and driving drum meet a brief guitar
lick before the chords rip in and the track explodes into a simply epic chugging
punk rocker that will demand that you get down the front and pile inàloved it!!
The penultimate track of the four, Broken Town clocks in at over four and a half
minutes and this allows the band to explore some math-punk elements, although
they soon give way to some of the most powerful hardcore punk heard since Black
Flag tore up you speakers and the melodic vocals add a layer of finesse that
helps to show the full power and scope of the brand û this is good stuff folks!
The EP ends with Break Free, Stay Free and the booming bass guitar ushers in a
tight lick and smashing drums channelling Black Sabbath and Fugazi to see us
home in fuzzed out punk rock bliss."
