SOFT RIOT

About Me

SOFT RIOT is one Jack Duckworth of the group SAVAGE FURS, as well other groups such as PRIMES, RADIO BERLIN and A LUNA RED. Working in the shadow of punk bands through the 90s and later work with Radio Berlin and A Luna Red, SOFT RIOT is an outlet for a sound that was covered in spurts in this projects: "Ambient punk" perhaps?
