Hailing from Kent, three-piece Dry Riser's recently self-release EP, 'Two Many Chiefs' features four tracks that show off their great skills as songwriters. The acoustic guitar-driven songs have elements of Johnny Cash, Jeff Buckley and maybe some of Soundgarden's quieter moments. The video currently playing on their MUZU profile, however, shows the band in a very different mode, rocking it right up at last year's Guilfest, on a song called 'Old Mistakes'. Here they make full use of a driving bassline on which to rest moody guitar riffs and Paul Weller-esque vocals. A band that can soothe you or whip you into a frenzy with equal skill isn't always an easy thing to come by. Check these guys out now.
