About Me


Again recording their album completely by themselves, RR have tread a long road, losing a bassist, hiring a handful more, recording the basslines themselves & ultimately taking a few perfectionists' swings at the final product before overcoming the sophomore pitfalls that ultimately inspired Curses Sing. Time hasn't mellowed them instead seemingly encouraging even more complicated rhythms, brutally heavy twists & turns, and antagonistic melodies. Even with new tricks; a smattering of female vocals, atmospheric interludes & more immediate vocals, this is a rumbling percussive call to arms that never hints at a falter.
"Risk Relay is carrying the torch for nutcases with guitars. They mash hoarse, shouted vocals onto spindly guitar lines until the listener is bludgeoned into approval. They relive the glory days of indie noise with their unrelenting tales of neurotic obscurity, producing post-grunge messiness for modern-day amphetamine reptiles." Editor's review, Download.com
"...jittery, jarring, and oh-so compelling." Pastepunk.com
"Memorable and creative." Absolutepunk.net
