Hey hey rioters!

We thought it would be good to update you all on the next rather wonderful issue of Riot on the Rocks. We’ve got loads of cool stuff going in it, new writers on board and some great new bands you might not have heard of.

 This weekend we are bravely going where few journalists dare – and interviewing the ridiculously raucous Black Lips (above) before their headline NME show in Islington, London. Here’s hoping they’ve got posession of their passports after being chased out of India the other week. We’ve heard the new album (out 16th March), and it falls somewhere between Let It Bloom and Good, Bad, Not Evil – shambolic and pointedly unpolished one minute, and upbeat pop the next. They’ll be showcasing it at SXSW so fingers crossed for some crazy shows in Austin this year.

Also on the way in issue 4 one of our new writers, Rohan, is interviewing two-girl Canadian blues rockers The Pack A.D, I catch up with the long-locked legend that is Sebastian Bach, plus The Cut in the Hill Gang- the new project from the Soledad Brothers’ Johnny. Add to that a spot of obscure Japanese psychedelia from Boningen, the ever entertaining Jay Reatard, King Kahn and a whole lot more besides.

 The hard copy zine is due out Friday 13th March – get in touch now to pre-order a copy!
