Track of the week... Rio Rio - The Bashful and the Brave

It's been a while since we've heard from Rio Rio - in fact it was over a year ago we first heard their début track "Gorilla Gorilla! They're now back and with a new EP on the horizon, but before that they've released the very upbeat single "The Bashful and the Brave". For fans of Two Door Cinema Club, Sons & Lovers and The 1975 - they're really going the right way about creating a genuinely exciting Indie anthem that's just waiting to be remixed by someone!

The LA based might've been in the shadows of The Neighbourhood for the past year but after this song they're ready to overtake them! The song has a real urgency and with some slick undertones such as the bass riff in the first verse, the break-down before the chorus and the urgent chorus giving you something that you'd be happy to bounce up and down to while driving!

They're certainly on a path here that can lead to something big for them, I hope someone gives them a listen and signs them up, I know they're ready, I hope the labels do because I'm sure they'll be snapped up in 2013 for sure. The single is out now, click here to buy it. 

P.S. if you see someone going mad in a Silver Fiat in Cambridge - it might just be me listening to this!

Daily Download... Rio Rio - Last Flight

Last night we got an exciting message from one of the members of Rio Rio, remember them? If not you should, we've been banging on about them for a while now, and for good reasons too! They dropped their latest song 'Last Flight' last night (that wasn't suppose to rhyme), and we think it's yet another great track for them to get even bigger off!

Introducing... Rio Rio

Ever wonder what we do on a Saturday at 5pm? Well today we went on bandcamp to have a look around, and we stumbled across Rio Rio! They're a five piece Tropical-Rock, Electro-Rock band and as the name suggests they've got a tropical feel to their anthems. Being based in San Francisco may seem like a great idea, but sadly in the USA they're not so keen on anything guitar based unless the band has been around for ages.



Rio Rio sound like they want to change that, they've not even played their first show and they've already got two amazing tracks recorded. The tracks are, 'Gorilla Gorilla' and ''You Mammoth', they're both recorded really well and the production and mastering sounds great. 'Gorilla Gorilla' is currently a free download on their bandcamp site and I'd highly recommend you download it! It's a great way to get pumped for the summer, it's got great guitar riffs echoing in the background and what's more is that the vocals are really strong, seriously complementing the tropical sound they've made for themselves.

For fans of // The Wombats, Trophy Wife, Bravestation
