   About The Brixton Riot

TBR on Facebook

iLike The Brixton Riot

Combining American and English influences, The Brixton Riot fuses elements of 70’s power-pop and punk, 80’s jangle-rock and 90’s indie rock into a sound that is both familiar and distinct. The Replacements, Big Star and The Jam represent only a small fraction of the band’s influences.

Their debut EP, “Sudden Fiction,” was recorded over two Saturdays by Don Sternecker (The Feelies, Luna, The Figgs) at Mixolydian Studios in Lafayette, NJ in September 2007.

The Brixton Riot is Mark Wright (formerly of The Christies), Steve Hass and Jerry Lardieri (both formerly of Elektraluxe) and Matt Horutz (formerly of The Love Scene), who replaces original TBR drummer Rob Silverman, who left the group in November of 2008.

Now Available FOR FREE at LAST FM

Also Available on CD from Tabbycat Records

"Each song on this EP is a gem...I can't wait for the full length." - Powerpopaholic

"...melding jangly rock and a little bit of country influence, with nods to later-era Replacements, Buffalo Tom, the Lemonheads and maybe a little Teenage Fanclub...no matter what you want to call them, though, there are some damn catchy songs on here that make this an interesting debut and a band I'd like to hear more from again soon! MTQ=5/5" - IndiePages.com

"...reminiscent of The Replacements and fellow Jerseyites The Smithereens... Really good stuff, and here's looking forward to a full-length." - AbsolutePowerPop

"...pop-smart 70's power-pop/ jangley, indie, garagish rockers that write distinctive melodies without selling themselves out... Hooky bits of pop punk (the good stuff) run rampant through all the tunes on "Sudden Fiction"..." - Jersey Beat

"Wow…only 5 songs by this NJ quartet but they are 5 damn good songs! They sound like a perfect mixture of the guts n' determination of The Jam (or The Clash) mixed with the vulnerability of say, The Replacements. "Battle of the Band" is one of my songs of the year so far but all 5 tunes here are well done. Can't wait for the full-length!" - Dagger

"...These guys LOVE their record collections and this EP is not just promising, it’s quality is already *there*. VERY Highly Recommended!" - Not Lame

Hi there! We've got a new EP that we're especially proud of called Summer which is the second in our series of seasonal EPs this year. We'd love for you to listen to the EP online, and to do so, just click on the graphic below. If you like what you hear, we'd be very grateful if you'd support our efforts by buying the EP for €2.50 (around $3.20).


Hope all is going great for you. Thanks for being our friend!

"There is honestly no one I can think of that would be better (than Erik) to play Murdock or Hamlet. I'm not just blowing smoke up your ass because I'm your friend either, I seriously mean it. You would be fantastic in either one of those roles. I really hope you get them."

Hey guys,
Thanks for being part of the show Friday at the Stone Pony. I felt bad that you guys had to play to an even sparser crowd than we did. I know how tough that can be but you went right on and rocked out. You were excellent. Thanks again.
