Riot Stares Share New Single & Video “Trip Chain”

Charleston, SC’s Riot Stares have announced that their new album, Sounds of Acceleration, is set for release on January 20th via DAZE Records. Having already shared the standalone single Relief Technique, the band have now followed it up with Trip Chain. The track wastes no time making an impact, hitting hard with chunky, groove-driven guitars. The band’s fusion of hardcore and alternative rock exudes a relentless energy, only matched by the live performance moments in the video.

Sounds of Acceleration follows the band’s previously released EP’s, 2016’s Riot Stares and 2017’s Let The Phase Speak (2017). Taking just as much influence from bands like Quicksand and Orange 9mm as they do the Beastie Boys, Riot Stares has created a unique sonic style. The ten songs on the record provide a sense of exhilaration, aggressive and vibrant at the same time. As the band puts it, “We were trying to give the sense that you’re stuck in something you don’t have any control of and that everything’s happening fast and you can’t slow it down.”

Following the passing of guitarist Issy Varoumas, Riot Stares have confirmed that Sounds of Acceleration will be their final release.
