Online, March 22, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Astor Place Riot
Astor Place Riot was a four-member band, which was already practicing together when they decided to put an ad onto Craigslist for a lead singer. Although they were aware of the news reports regarding the Craigslist murders, they moved forward in placing this ad. They met with Joshua Fletcher who, after the first time they practiced with him, knew that he was the right one for the position. They have not stopped playing since.
Band members include:
Tim Condo (drums/percussion)
Clay Gibson (guitarist/vocalist)
Susan Janis (violin/viola)
Jason Majewski (bass)
Joshua Fletcher (lead vocals/songwriter/guitarist)
After their first show at a local outdoor music festival hosted by MTV reality stars, the band continued performing at various venues in the area to build up a local following.
Astor Place Riot most recent CD "Fine White Line" was released in December 2011 with rave reviews. Their lead single "Complete Waste" (originally titled 'Complete Waste of Time') refers to someone's constant talk about what they will do but never set out to accomplish it. This song also deals with consequences of these non-actions. This single has a hot rock beat to it. It is fast paced with many guitar riffs, vocal harmonies with a bit of a suspenseful texture to it.
"Fine White Line" carries many common threads that run through their songs such as working with a melodic core and with clever instrumental arrangements. The vocals are great, arrangements are pure rock and you cannot get any better than that.
Astor Place Riot's mass appeal is due to their story lines and great rock sound. They are very radio friendly and their music is memorable, giving current rockers a run for their money.
"Fine White Line" is available in both digital and physical formats.
Astor Place Riot was a finalist in WKQQ Decent Exposure Battle of the Bands.
"Jared Lee created the artwork for "Fine White Line". Otherwise, both of our albums were completed purely from the talents of the band. We wrote, arranged, recorded, mixed and mastered both of our albums - all while fulfilling other full time obligations. A strength of ours is the ability to consistently create quality products from our own talents and drive. With such a solid foundation and an extensive catalog of songs yet to be recorded, we can only imagine what we could accomplish with the right musical partnership(s)."
