The debut LP is a milestone in any musician’s career. When offered the opportunity to record in another country, with a highly renowned producer in a world-class studio, one would imagine this would result in that memorable milestone.
The four shaggy-haired, long-legged boys from Adelaide band CITY RIOTS would have agreed not so long ago. However, time, personal growth and creative integrity, have re-written their story.
Debut single ‘Burning Me Out’ from CITY RIOTS’ ‘08 EP Socialise, was the first glimpse of their enticing indie-pop charm that caught the attention of national broadcaster Triple J. As momentum spurred and an uncanny friend of a friend connection was revealed, five months later, CITY RIOTS found themselves shacked up in a two bedroom apartment in Chicago, USA working with producer Bjorn Thorsrud whose resume sights the likes of The Smashing Pumpkins and The Dandy Warhols.
