We are Vinyl RIOT; a band from Coventry in the middle of England. Popular music in england desperately needs shaking up a new genre needs to be born, something fun, exciting and inspiring. We are going back to basics, simple; guitars, bass, drums and singers (shouters really), none of this ponsey rave shit. We play music that is written for a reason, that we hope, matters. We much prefer hearing and playing live music than listening to a recording.
The band has three frontmen, James and Cameron do most of the singing but Aman joins in too. These three have been in a band together since 2006, the fourth member has usually been friends of the band who can play guitar filling in on bass and Aman going back to drums for a gig or two. Finally Nico (who has known Aman since primary school) turned up for the bands first big gig, at the Colly or "the Kasbah" and has now chosen to come and play drums full time for the band.
The band are set to record in June-July 2008 and are looking for gigs to play in the summer.
