mclz Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Paper + Plastick seriously loves Richmond, VA. Not only has the city provided us with P + P staples Landmines and Foundation, but it also served up our most recent signees The Riot Before. The Riot Before have been busy boys since 2005 with several excellent releases already under the quartet's belts. They started with a bang and released the "Horseshoes and Handgrenades" CD the first year they were together. They then followed it up with the "So Long, The LIghthouse" 7" EP on Quote Unquote Records and a split 7" with Broadway Calls that both saw the light of day in 2007. 2008 saw The Riot Before honing their sound even further as they released the critically acclaimed "Fists Buried in Pockets" album on Say-10 Records. While comparisons to Gainesville powerhouse Against Me! have popped up at times, this band is not riding any coattails. They play the sort of punk anthem that is at once catchy and different. Their anthems are politically charged, but not overbearingly so. The message never obscures the bands power and energy (and vis versa). Virtual touring machines, The Riot Before have already managed to chalk up over six official tours (the longest being a 75 day full US jaunt) and have shared the stage with the likes of The Gaslight Anthem, None More Black, Bomb the Music Industry, Off With Their Heads, Tim Barry and Smoke or Fire. 2009 finds the band with a new home at Paper + Plastick and exciting new releases in their future. Details will be coming extremely soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesse Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 These guys are awesome. I bought their first cd back when mail order and cds were cool. I remember being impressed that not only was it awesome sonically, but they were donating a substantial portion of the profits to charity.

axlrose Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Fucking boner jams! I love Riot Before. I hope this works out for both parties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezfools Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I'm still undecided on P+P for some reason. Solid bands, but eh, dunno. We'll see, this band is great and looking forward to the AWS show with these guys and shook ones, so good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
