This week I’m featuring an amazing new band, from New York,  called Ra Ra Riot. I started listening to them when they had only launched an EP and listened to their lounge acts in the internet radio station WOXY.com (which I highly recommend). They usually use strings (violins, cellos..) as a big component in the songs which gives them a very distinctive sound.

Their debut album is free to stream from last.fm, so no excuse not to check it out! As usual, if you like it, I’d suggest buying a copy to support this amazing starting band, which is already so promising.

Also, they’re coming to London on the 17th February and I’ve already got my tickets! Can’t wait!
