THE RIOT – Happy Tears EP

“The Riot’s ‘Happy Tears’ EP collects the full scope of the project, the oxymoron of the title reflecting its extensive spectrum. Its twists and turns through hip-hop, EDM, punk, and avant-garde noise experiment, it’s by turns beautiful, bruising, and bonkers. One of the more interesting, danceable, challenging, just plain raw acts of recent years 🔥”

I would like to acknowledge that the gigs that are pictured here, the stages they’re played on, the bars and venues they’re held in, and the good times they represent, are all held on lands that were never ceded by Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. I acknowledge these First Australians as the traditional custodians of the continent, whose cultures are among the oldest living cultures in human history. I pay respect to the Elders of the community and extend my recognition to their descendants.
