City Riots set to release new EP Matchsticks this October!

After spending time in Chicago USA writing and recording with renowned producer Bjorn Thorsrud (Smashing Pumpkins, The Dandy Warhols), City Riots returned to Australia armed with a collection of pop gems. More recording and mixing took place under the ears of Paul ‘Woody’ Annison in Melbourne with the result being a five track EP that you can get your hands on in early October.

New EP Matchsticks is out through MGM on October 7^th

Only one week after wrapping up their national tour supporting Ball Park Music on their first headline hurrah, City Riots’ ever-growing national profile continues to swell following the invitation to support US rock renegades The Get Up Kids.

Although technically from Adelaide, City Riots have spent so much time on the road recently, even they seem to be unsure of where home is these days. The quartet have spent the good part of this year touring the country in exceptional company with over twenty dates alongside British India and Boy in a Box, one off supports with Papa vs Pretty and Alpine and currently as the main support on the ‘How I Met Ball Park Music’ Tour.

With their most recent indie pop gem ‘In My Head’ released digitally on July 1, the bar is set for the next release due in September. It’s safe to say, things are busy in camp City Riots.
