About Me



Hi. We are Riddler ...
We're a quirky-electro-pop-style-outfit (but we're not that happy about being pigeon-holed, so we'd rather you made up your own mind on that one!).
After re-forming in the wintery months of 2007, we have been very busy writing and recording lots of new material to bring you. At the moment our MySpace Demos definitely show the more commercial end of our output. It's just the order we have started/finished recording our stuff in ;)..... and we wanted to have lots of fun creating some rather strange and catchy songs too.
Look out for more material as we are always working and uploading new stuff.
When we're not holding on to our headphones and our pockets can lend us some money, we're usually out and about seeing other bands, and trying to be 'cultured'. We've also recently been busy collaborating with other bands on various projects including a video with Hungarian band 'RemembeR' (see below) and we've done a number of strange supports from Pete Doherty to Paolo Nutini, and as we seem to be on a roll, we're up for new projects and things to tingle our brains all the time.
We hope you enjoy our new music. Perhaps we might see you at a live gig soon!

Recording makes you WEIRD
