Riot – Inishmore -Review

April 1, 1998

The ’80s are over and so are layered harmonies, classical guitar wanking, vocal warbling, and Whitesnake-sounding, lyrically-inane, hard rock posturing.

April 1, 1998

April 1, 1998

April 1, 1998

A deep baritone with an old-world romantic accent atop dreamy synths, heavily-echoed acoustics, or dramatic powerchords that has a tendency to strut its stuff.
