Description

Oh happy days, Riot Act is back. It's your weekly delve into the world of alternative music, and this week Steve is once again joined by lovely Sam Sleight to talk about new albums from Ithaca, RZA as Bobby Digital and Oceans of Slumber.
Before that we pay tribute to both Paul Ryder and Mariusz Lewandowski, both of whom sadly passed away recently, and end the show by looking back at Woodstock 99 on its 23rd birthday. Obviously it was a very controversial, tragic and infamous festival, and much of the blame of what went wrong is laid at the feet of some of the musicians on the bill. While we can't say that those pointing the fingers are being fair or reasonable in that assessment, we thought that maybe there would have been a more suitable way to book the festival to keep the ethos and aura of the original Woodstock more present in people's minds. So both Steve and Sam have fantasy booked the two main stages on all three days of the festival to see what might have been.

If you’re here then we’d like to assume you are a music fan with impeccable taste, and appreciate the job we’re trying to do in promoting the very best in alternative music. Both Stephen and Remfry (that’s us) have written and spoken millions of words about our favourite bands in everything from The Independent and The Guardian to Metal Hammer and Team Rock Radio, and beyond. We have dedicated large chunks of our lives to passionately promoting our favourite music, but never has there been an outlet that offers us the opportunity to rep for all the many genres of alternative music that we adore. Until now. Whether you are a fan of brutal death metal or wistful singer songwriters, three chord punk rock or sprawling prog epics, we believe that music in all of its forms deserves to be celebrated. So we started Riot Act to do exactly that. This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy
