Release Notes:
The Rialto Burns release first single, æRadiate,Æ through Gung-Ho
Recordings on 7 June.
æRadiateÆ opens with a growling industrial snarl that crashes into a
relentless guitar riff, towering synths and brooding vocals. ôIÆd been
let down by a friend and weÆd drifted apart,ö says frontman Adam. ôI
thought IÆd moved onto better things, then realisation hit: no-oneÆs
perfect. Sometimes we all need saving.ö
The Rialto Burns are named after a newspaper headline during the 9 day
Toxteth race riots of 1981 which saw the Rialto Ballroom burnt to the
ground. They formed two years ago after a domino effect of chance
meetings powered by a shared love of The Smiths, New Order, Echo & The
Bunnymen and Devo.
The story spirals, rather exotically, from the inner city indie
hangouts of Liverpool, to a bedroom in North Wales. Paul (bass) and
Alex (guitar) both been in a previous band together, Cogsy (guitar)
bumped into Paul in a pub, and an ad was placed on Gigwise, which Adam
(vocalist) answered. They also spent a year hunting for a drummer, but
eventually decided to opt for a drum machine instead û less sweat and
drum-sticks flying around.
Since, theyÆve been slaving away in the studio on the album, gigging
across the UK with the likes of Hot Club De Paris and Good Shoes, and
working on a few lo-fi videos.
