Riskee & The Ridicule Announce “Too Young To Be Blue” EP & UK/EU Tour Dates

Bar a couple of decidedly new-un-normal ‘socially-distant’ gigs in 2020, like all bands and music fans, Kent punks Riskee & The Ridicule have been completely starved of the very air and nourishment that makes life worth living and keeps us alive, the lifeblood that is live music. But it’s coming back, big time.

“It’s finally looking like we’re getting back to some version of normality for the time being. I’ve been grafting in the rain and shovelling shit for the last year. Everyone’s pissed off and aching to get back on stage or in the pit. You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone, so expect Riskee & The Ridicule to be the biggest, loudest, angriest beast you’ve seen. We’re going to take every opportunity with both hands and excel. We’ve put together the songs we released during this weird time in one new EP to mark the moment and move forward, we can’t wait to get out there. See you soon…” (frontman Scott Pickering)

Making up for lost time, Riskee & The Ridicule have a series of UK gigs to keep them going for the rest of the year, and the new EP, Too Young To Be Blue, that will be released via Bomber Music on September 10th that, as Scott states, collates together the three tracks the band released online throughout the pandemic, that they recorded just before Covid hit. 

Featuring the Brexit-baiting Blue Jacket, their majestic cover of Lana Del Rey’s award-winning 2013 smash-hit, Young and Beautiful, and Backwords 2, a song that links back to the song Backwords that was featured on their 2017 album, Blame Culture. The Too Young To Be Blue EP wraps up this strange and restrictive time in the bands lives and with hope, they can move on and detonate on stages across the world forever more.
