Warrington based folk-punk sextet Roughneck Riot will be releasing their new album, ‘Out of Anger’, on the 13th October via Manchester label TNS Records.
“We’re reinventing and rewriting folk music to make sense to our lives today” comment the band on their attitude. “We write music for people; regardless of race, nationality, age, gender or sexuality.The past 2 years have been quite ridiculous in the UK. We’ve been mostly writing when something has made us angry.”
“There’s a disgusting amount of fascism and racism in the UK and Europe and we’ve included some more personal tales from our own lives too – Sam (accordion) has even rewritten an old song about Fox Hunting to be a tribute to the Hunt Saboteurs of the UK. We are a voice amongst many in the scene that’s ready to be heard. We are here to play folk punk music. From nowhere and everywhere, this is our day.”
Roughneck Riot will also be heading on tour across the UK and Europe in late September and October.
