Riot Stares Return With New Single & Video “Relief Technique”

Charleston, SC’s Riot Stares are making an enticing blend of hardcore infused with elements of alternative and nu-metal. Today the band have shared their first new music in four years with the single Relief Technique that is out now on DAZE Records. The track has an intense energy to it, as riffs move from heavy to funk-driven and sharp drums carry the sound. Taking clear influence from acts like Orange 9mm, Helmet and Refused, the vocal delivery from Brad Marino is aggressive with flair.

Relief Technique was recorded and mixed by John Howard at War House Recordings in Gainesville, FL and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege in Portland, OR. It follows the band’s previously released EP’s, Riot Stares (2016) and Let The Phase Speak (2017). Following the passing of guitarist Issy Varoumas, the band intends to release one more record, with more details to come.
