You can listen to “Loud,Bright and Violent “ on Spotify Here and on Apple Music Here

We pride ourselves here at The Whole Kameese in not pulling any punches so, where going to buck that trend today . “Loud,Bright and Violent “ from Sunshine Riot is a blistering, sonically perfect work of art .

Sunshine Riot recorded the record last fall with Steve Albini at Electrical Audio in Chicago, and it represents their loudest dose of melodic chaos yet.

One listen to the new EP and, it is crystal clear that Steve Albini and Sunshine Riot are an absolute perfect match, we can imagine the grunge gods are smiling down on this brilliant collaboration.

Opening track “So It Comes“ is the perfect track to set the tone for an absolutely powerful batch of well crafted alt-grunge gems . From our original review of “So It Comes – “ So It Comes”which, is the ultra explosive lead track to the band’s forthcoming EP Loud,Bright and Violent . “So It Comes “ has a swagger that is undeniable. The track absolutely simmers as the band lays down a bluesy tinged groove that straight out moved our soul . (These guys are a insanely tight group and it shows) Jonny Orton completes the track with vocals so good they could stop traffic .

Looking At The Past” is a gritty well written single that is absolutely spectacular. Sunshine Riot are masters at their craft and it truly shows on this outstanding track .

The third track on “Loud,Bright and Violent “ is “Man On The TV” and it is the final single of the EP . We always find it hard to pick our “favorite “ track, especially with the batch of songs on this EP. But, if we had to choose, it would be without question “Man On The TV” This song is Sunshine Riot at their absolute best . It’s well written, well played and it freaking rocks period!

Many bands may try duplicate the alt-grunge sound , but Sunshine Riot are different , we’ve said it before and it bares repeating Sunshine Riot has this almost “secret sauce” quality to their sound that makes it all their own.

I’m not sure we’re ever trying to make a uniform statement with any record… we just do the best we can to find some songs that we hope folks will enjoy. That said, I suppose we’re saying ‘Sunshine Riot ain’t dead yet and our distortion pedals still work’. We contribute to feel awfully lucky to still be making music together. Been a weird few years, in the music world and beyond, so it feels pretty darn good to put this one out.”Jonny Orton

The final track “Room To Moan” gives us all the feels .This is the perfect song to close out this spectacular EP . As we commented in our original review “We might be showing how much of a bunch of music geeks we are ( We don’t Care) but, “Room To Moan” is such unbelievable track we couldn’t help but imagine it mingled in the soundtrack to one of our favorite films “1991: The Year Punk Broke “ In our book “Room To Moan “ has that magnetic pull that you feel with really great songs”

Don’t miss out on Sunshine Riot and “Loud,Bright and Violent “ it’s a true musical experience that you can’t miss.
