The hottest new Pure Noise Records up-and-comers, RILEY! have released their highly anticipated new EP, To Live And Die In The American South, today. A brand new band to the alternative music scene, they are earning their stripes left and right. RILEY! has garnered some pretty stellar support from scene legends in the form of collaborations on this new EP. “Two Bucks” features Eric Egan of Heart Attack Man, while “Another Round Of Radical ‘Ritas, Please” features Tades Sandsville of Hot Mulligan.
RILEY! proves they can stand on their own, however. The rest of the EP is equally as good, even without the heavy hitters on every track. The band is surely headed towards something special. They are also an openly queer band, which rules in our book.
