THE BOWERY RIOTS PRESS BLURB" OCT 2009
The Bowery Riots are rock and soul in speakeasy fashion. Taking their name from the turn of the century gang the Bowery Boys, and the infamous mid 19th century Astor Riots, their sound is based on an appreciation for the British Invasion, late 60's soul, and seminal punk bands like the Clash who played with passion and wrote with purpose.
Indie blog Exploding In Sound included the Bowery Riots "The Rent" on their 2009 Future Legendary compilation and noted "The spirit, soul, and energy of the Speakeasy are vibrant in New York City’s The Bowery Riots With a “for the people” passion and strong political interest, the sextet plays an incredibly eclectic mix of punk, soul, and rock and roll. Heavily rooted in the turn of the 20th century and the hustle of the big city, The Bowery Riots are a unique amalgamation of sound and style. Their songs are filled with garage rock influence, mixing in three part female/male harmonies, horns, and harmonicas for a riotous good time."
The Bowery Riots debut EP 2008 was among the Best of Limewire The band's "Fire in the Streets" video was part of the 2009 NME Shockwave awards. Besides the bands 2 EPs, the group recorded Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come" for the 2008 Barack Obama campaign compilation, thechangering.com.
