Welcome back to Riot Act, your weekly dose of music reviews, chat and gossip. This week Steve and Remfry take a listen to brand new music from Porcupine Tree, Alexisonfire, Nervus and Zola Jesus, before getting a mixture of excited and not at all bothered by news of a full tour by the original line up of the Sugababes and a documentary about Motley Crue’s Vince Neil. Then we turn our attention to Nine Inch Nails, who recently completed a full tour of the UK which included a stop at London’s Brixton Academy that Steve saw, but also both of our hosts saw their two night stint at the very aesthetically pleasing Eden Project in Cornwall. Both of the events were completely different in many ways, and we discuss them all, before music about other venues across the world that are as delightful to look at as the massive orb filled greenhouse that we spent the weekend in. That should be enough to satisfy you, right? No? Want more? Okay, some people were arrested for partying in a pig pen in a place called Methwold in Suffolk. You’re very welcome.

Welcome back to another very fine, if we do say ourselves, episode of Riot Act, the alternative music podcast. Steve and Remfry return with a packed show this week, part of this is because we’re happy Kate Bush is going to be number one in charts around the world, part of it is because we’re intrigued to see how the upcoming Taylor Hawkins tribute concerts will play out, a little because some girl did some metal shouting on America’s Got Talent this week, and also because there are new records by Foals and Prison Religion to talk about. Mainly though, our show is a long one because they’ve seen a lot of live music in the past fortnight, and we’ll tell you about it all on the show. Recent gigs from the likes of Deftones, Meshuggah, Will Haven, Run The Jewels and Genesis Owusu all get a good going over, plus Steve attended the Download festival. Which gives us the perfect opportunity to shit all over Alestorm again. Which we do. This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy

We’re back to our usual pairing here on Riot Act this week, as Steve and Remfry pick through their musical highlights of the last seven days. There’s chat about the latest records from Thom Yorke and Johnny Greenwood’s The Smile project, Everything Everything, Just Mustard, Porridge Radio and Casket Feeder, who Steve also saw live in London as well. Remfry caught both nights of Glassjaw playing their first two albums in full at the Forum in London and Steve waxes lyrical on the Pet Shop Boys greatest hits set in Birmingham. Plus there is chat about BMTH frontman Oli Sykes’ claim that he and his band have been misrepresented by the media, Danny Boyle’s new Sex Pistols biopic Pistol and a tribute to Depeche Mode’s Andy Fletcher who sadly passed away aged 60 last week.

Welcome back to another Riot Act. Your weekly fix of alternative music chat. Remfry is having a well earned break this week, so Steve is joined by our good friend and former Stereoboard writer Sam Sleight. The two of them saw the big My Chemical Romance shows in Milton Keynes, so they talk about that before moving on to chat new records by Liam Gallagher, Murkage Dave, Malevolence and Harry Styles. Plus we react to the recent news that only 13% of headliners in this years UK festival market are female.

Hello you, welcome back to the latest episode of Riot Act, the alternative music podcast, where you can get all the best news and opinions about all of the stuff that happened in the music world this week. Steve and Remfry have got a big one to start with, as we look at the huge new album from Kendrick Lamar, followed by new releases from Cave In and Spice. We then pay tribute to electronic music pioneer Vangelis, chat about Eric Clapton and Pearl Jam both getting Covid (we’re more sympathetic to one than the other to be fair), say nice things about Eddie Van Halen after it emerged that he gave a significant amount of money to charity before his death and we catch up with that lad who duped a bunch of influencers to go to Fyre fest. He’s getting out of prison early by all accounts! Good… for… him…? This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy

Welcome to another Riot Act, your weekly dose of alternative music news and reviews. This week Steve and Remfry get all misty eyed at the news that Apple are discontinuing the iPod, it ends up in a big nostalgia trip all the way back to Soda Streams. Those were the days eh! There is also reviews on the latest releases from Arcade Fire, Moon Tooth and God Mother, plus there are live reports from recent shows from Foals and, you guessed it, Tool. We also talk about the recent Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees and reflect on the sad passing of Black Dahlia Murder frontmant Trevor Strnad and Nick Cave’s son Jethro Lazenby.

Welcome back to Riot Act, where you can hear a rather tired Steve and Remfry talk about both a busy week for music and a busy week for the pair of them. We gloss over the QandA’s, wrestling and DJ sets that the pair of us have partaken in, and instead get to the chat about new music we’ve been listening to from the likes of Bloc Party, Puppy, Heriot and Ibiraki, live shows from Low, Armand Hammer and, for the second week running, Tool and the news of Ozzy Osbourne getting COVID. Also we chat about the returning Tattoo The Earth festival… yeah, you heard, it’s back! You go 20 years without mentioning something and when you do it comes back within a week! It’s hardly the first time either, as we’ve proved with Crazy Frog, Mr. Blobby and Richard Blackwood, just us mentioning something on the podcast seems to be enough to inspire it to a glorious return. We're magic ... you're welcome. This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy

After a week absence Riot Act returns with an absolutely bumper show. Steve and Remfry are kind of delighted that Machine Gun Kelly has decided that he’s not going to make rock music anymore. That’s alright innit! But they’re more interested in telling you about the music that they have seen/listened to in the last fortnight. So, there are reviews on a pretty massive bunch of releases from the likes of Rammstein, Pusha T, Fontaines D.C., Daniel Johns, Bob Vylan, Dalek, Somali Yacht Club and Samora Pinderhughes. Plus you finally get the compare and contrast of both nights of the recent Devin Townsend two night run at the Royal Albert Hall, and Remfry’s review (sans too many spoilers, chill out) of the start of Tool’s run around Europe. All in all, it’s a pretty big return to form if we don’t say so ourselves, and, hey look at this!, just the one mention of Jimmy Savile! We’re definitely BACK!!!

(Originally released via https://www.patreon.com/riotactpodcast (https://www.patreon.com/riotactpodcast) 22 October 2020) As suggested by Dougie Vale, Steve and Remfry take a deep dive into the 2010 self-titled album by Norweigan black n' rollers Kvelertak, an album that has oft been heralded as one of the finest debut albums of the 2010s. But the landscape of heavy music has changed somewhat in the prevailing years and Kvelertak never quite garnered the reputation that they were expected to amass (at least ... in the UK that is). What (if anything) went wrong? This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy

Welcome back to Riot Act, the alternative music podcast, where Steve and Remfry have had a busy week. Remfry has been to a whole bunch of gigs, from two huge arena shows by Ghost and The War on Drugs to smaller club shows with Bambara and Mclusky, whereas Steve has… er… watched the Jimmy Savile documentary. No accounting for taste. We also have new music to talk about too, with albums from the likes of Jack White, Wet Leg, Cancer Bats and Greyhaven all reviewed, before, inspired by the news that Tame Impala mainman Kevin Parker recently performed with kids entertainers The Wiggles, we reminisce about some of the most shocking and surprising times we’ve seen bands on TV. Expect chat about The Muppets, Napalm Death, Korn on South Park, Fear on SNL and some unexpected hatred for Phillip Schofield.

Welcome to another weekly dose of your alternative music fix from us here at Riot Act. You know it’s been a pretty quiet week when Steve and Remfry are chatting about David Draiman and Lil Nas X being mates and trying their hardest to just ignore the Grammys. So we decided to cast our mind back to a long lost festival that we believed had plenty of potential but, due to some pretty unusual circumstances, never managed to last longer than a handful of years. Tattoo the Planet/Earth was a touring metal festival that ran between 2000 and 2002, then it vanished, on this episode we look at what might have been by fantasy booking its 2002 and 2003 line ups to see if we could have saved it from extinction. We also review new records from Health, Pup and Steak. This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy
