The Rialto Burns
Radiate

Gung-Ho!

WE SAY

Tom Robinson on BBC 6Music has been championing The Rialto Burns. The recently-signed Liverpool band cite Devo and Echo & The Bunnymen as influences, which are audible from the brooding vocals through to the anthemic chorus - all making for a stirring debut. They've been gigging across the UK with the likes of Hot Club De Paris and Good Shoes. Dates at Liverpool Sound City next week are lined up ahead of their album which follows early August. Video.
