| UPCOMING GIGS ************************************************************ ** JULY 9th - PUNK DISORDERLY RADIO SHOW, PHOENIX RADIO 96.7FM OR www.phoenixfm.co.uk ************************************************************ ** JULY 12th - FUNGAL PUNK ALL DAYER @THE DOG & PARTRIDGE, BOLTON ************************************************************ ** JAN 17th 2009 - SAS 3 DAYER @THE THATCHED HOUSE, STOCKPORT ************************************************************ **First Time Riot are a punk band, no one can deny that.It all started when Matt & Grant decided that they wanted to start a new musical adventure. Days at work were spent dreaming of becoming big punk rock stars and making loads of money, but as they are both veterans to the scene they thought it best just to have a laugh, have their say and play some damn good music. They asked an old pal Damo (who, in the past had been in and formed other bands with Matt) if he wanted to play Bass. In true Del Monte fashion he said yes! After a few unreliable drummers Matt bumped into Kev on a Saturday afternoon in the boozer: "It was a strange afternoon, I had just finished putting posters around town advertising for a new drummer and then went for a drink. I was halfway through my pint when some bloke puts his bags on the table opposite then moves over to the bandit to lose all his money. As this bloke sits down one of his bags falls over and out roll a pair of sticks! Was this a fate or just coincidence? Whatever, we got talking about music and I discovered that Kev could also play bass but he wanted to join F.T.R as the drummer". Things were looking good. F.T.R. had a few gigs under their belt and they recorded a four track demo. The future of F.T.R. was set, or so they would have believed! Unfortunately, due to other commitments, Damian decided to walk away from the band. F.T.R. then drafted Tom as a drummer, Kev turned his hand to the bass. This line up worked for a while as F.T.R. had played in and around the Midlands and also up north. Again, just as things were going well for F.T.R. Kev decided to walk away from the band. It seemed as if F.T.R. were plagued by unreliable bassists! That is until now, F.T.R. have a new bass player and a solid line upThe first self-titled release, on the bands own DIY “Rock n Roll Thugs” label, was critically acclaimed receiving a triumphant 10 out of 10 from Fungal Punk & 5 out of 5 from Punk & Oi! UK. Call it what you like but hell, they got top marks! (Full reviews can be read on these sites www.fungalpunknature.co.uk & www.punkoiuk.co.uk alternativley see the bands blogs). This 4-track E.P. has been described as having an attention grabbing style with a refreshingly British sound, reminiscent to a by gone Pistol-esque era.The live shows are as chaotic as they are energetic and exciting. Matt Riot is a wrecking ball of a front man; full of raw energy, wrestling with the mic stands, stomping and jumping from each and every angle of the stage. While Grants buzz saw guitars ring through the air and all backed up with catchy sing-a-long choruses. Everything a growing band needs!It is plain to see that F.T.R. (aka First Time Riot) are hungry to play more venues around the U.K and keen to make a name for themselves.
