The debut Beach Riot album is finally here. It's safe to say that 'Subatomic Party Cool' is well worth the wait - a record that's jam packed with quality songwriting and enormous riffs, one after another, and hits a wide range of musical touchstones along the way. Black vinyl in slip sleeve.
Full of an infectious energy with more horsepower than the South American farm that guitarist/vocalist Cami left aged just 18 to come to the UK to seek pop stardom (Argentinian horse farming's loss is Alcopop!'s gain), Beach Riot are a slacker pop force to be reckoned with. Beach Riot cite their influences as ice-cream, weird guitars, PJ Harvey, Mudhoney, 4am mozzarella sticks, dark comedy, dungeons and dragons, and Brighton beach hangover fry-ups. We totally get that.
90s fuzz, big riffs and dreamy harmonies - what more could you want? - LOUDER
Great dynamics, tension and killer choruses - MOJO
