On The Floor Radio Edit - Music

Running Riots Are A 5 Piece Hailing From The Camden Area Of London England. The Band’s Name Reflects The Fact They Are A Fierce Live Act And Are Creating A Buzz Wherever They Go Pulling Rowdy Audiences To Witness This Vastly Popular Unsigned Band. Running Riots Have Been In Some Form Since 2005 But It Was The Start Of 2008 Which Saw The Birth Of Running Riots. The Bands Influences Include The Jam New York Dolls The Clash The Pixies And More Recently The Libertines The Maccabees And Maximo Park. Since The Birth Of Running Riots The Band Have Had An Impressive Run Of Gigs Pulling Large And Loyal Crowds Including Their Own Self-Run Residency ‘Nitro Nites’ At The Enterprise In Chalk Farm. In 2008 The Band Promoted Their ‘On The Floor’ EP Which Was Recorded At Courtyard Studios Oxford. It Was Made Possible By Financial Backing From Brian Message Radiohead's Manager And Was Received Well By The Fans And Industry. The Café De Paris 12 Bar The Cavern Liverpool Carling Academy Islington The Good Ship And The Rhythm Factory Among Many Others All Saw Running Riots In Action In 2008 One Of Highlight Being A Packed Friday Night Headline Slot At The Underworld In Camden On 08/08/08. Running Riots Are Now As Tight And Determined Than Ever Writing New Music At An Alarming Rate Merging Their Personal Styles And Influences To Create A Powerful Unique Raw And Angst Ridden Sound But With Enough Vocal Melodies And Hooks To Be Commercially Accessible. In October 08 Running Riots Went Into The Studio In Mill Hill With Fil Ross To Record Six New Tracks And Will Go Back And Record Another Six In March. Two Tracks From The First Six Will Be Self Released As A Demo Which The Band Hope Will Get Some Radio Play And Label Interest. The Song 'Cover The Fear' Is A Favourite To Be The Title Track. A Tour And Album Release Is Being Planned For 2009 With Some Festival Dates Being Worked On. Http //www.Myspace.Com/wearerunningriots
