  • Summary

  • 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

    209 - The Metal Catch Up.
    Sep 16 2022

    Horns up...? Yeah, why not. It's another episode of Riot Act, where Steve and Sam have spent the week diving into all manner of heavy metal goodness... and some not so goodness. We catch up on some of the some prominent releases in metal from Behemoth, Clutch, Ozzy Osbourne, The Devil Wears Prada, The Hu, Stake, Megadeth, END & Cult Leader, Blackbraid and Sabotor.

    Sam also saw Machine Head and Amon Amarth in Nottingham, and we talk about the news that Mark Chapman has been denied parole once again and think back to some significant support slot refusals after hearing the news that The 1975 decided not to open for Ed Sheeran.

    208 - Parkway Drive, Holy Fawn, The Bug, Stray From The Path
    Sep 9 2022
    Welcome to another bumper episode of Riot Act. It's been a busy and mad week in the world of popular culture, Wembley paid tribute to Taylor Hawkins with one of the most star studded shows of all time, Cardiff hosted the first WWE pay per view in 30 years (and Steve was there, not really knowing what was going on), Harry Styles flobbed in Chris Pine's lap, the DIRTY GHETT, and we have been listening to new albums from Parkway Drive, Holy Fawn, The Bug and Stray From The Path. Having fought our way through all that, we look at a couple of what could be considered guilty pleasures. There are probably plenty of you listening that would consider both The Killers and Insane Clown Posse to be, you know, a little embarrassing. We're not having it though! We give you the case for the defence for a pair of albums that many wouldn't admit to loving.

    207 - Callous Daoboys, JID, 156/Silence, Human Rights Now! tour
    Sep 2 2022
    Welcome back to another episode of Riot Act, a podcast about music. This week Steve is once again joined by Sam Sleight to chat about all the big issues and events over the last week. There's new albums from The Callous Daoboys, JID and 156/Silence to get through, there's also some pretty depressing news from various angles regarding Scott Kelly's disgraced retirement from music, Pras from The Fugees getting tied up in a money laundering scandal, fire starting destruction at Reading and Leeds festivals and... this isn't so bad, Cradle of Filth and Ed Sheeran's collab effort drawing ever closer. We then look back at the Human Rights Now! tour, which began on this day back in 1988 and featured a bill of Bruce Springsteen and The E-Street Band, Peter Gabriel, Sting, Tracey Chapman and more. All put on to raise awareness of Amnesty International, which it succeeded in doing in spectacular fashion. We track the progress of the ambitious tour and look at the genesis of the Benefit Concert, from Handel playing Messiah for a children's charity back in the 18th century, to Ariana Grande's One Love for Manchester concert set up in the aftermath of the terror attack on her Manchester Arena show in 2017.
