Band Members: Phil Fitton; Lead Vox/Rhythm Guitar: Phil's solid guitar playing and immense vocal talent are second to none, this guy is one of the best frontmen on the scene by far, seeing this guy in action shows you a person who is totally involved in music and everything involved therein.
David Holmes; Bass: What Dave brings to the table is a blend of low down funk and just downright astounding slap bass, Dave is the one that vibrates the walls at a gig with his sub-sonic assault, Dave's clinical precision on Bass is something you can't learn, it's something you're born with.
Scott Fowler; Lead Guitar: Scott's contribution to The Risks are solid rhythms to compliment phil's playing (with a cheeky hint of heavy rock), tearjerking guitar harmonies and guitar solos that are out of this world, the speed and precision Scott demonstrates when he's let loose is absoloutely out of this world.
Mike Duddy; Drums and Catering! The newest member of The Risks who has made an instant impact. Mike's ability to adapt and his wide range of styles make him the perfect addition to this ever evolving band. Dance? Funk? Rock? Not a problem, this lad has it all!!!!
Influences: Far too many influences to possibly list and remember, but here is just a taster of the artists who have helped shape our music;
The Beatles/The Strokes/RHCP/Rage Against The Machine/Metallica/Simon And Garfunkel/Bob Marley/Death From Above 1979/The Pixies/Bloc Party/Mario Picotto/and the lists goes on.......................and on...........................and on....................
You are what you take - we are what we take
Sounds Like: Theres only one true way to find out, thats to come see us!
But failing that, we are a mix between; The Strokes, The RHCP and Bloc Party
