This is Ska music taken to its upper limits of imagination. Stand Out Riot performs a very unique genre of Ska incorporating a very different variety of instruments into one core combined musicality.
Formed in 2004 in the English city of Manchester, Stand Out Riot have developed from their very beginning a unique wave of Ska which brings them such wide popularity. Born in the very centre of Manchester Punk Scene, the band is known for tremendous energy and excitement all linked with a wide variety of musical instruments. Contemplating Francis on the vocal and trombone, Will at the Bass and Keys, Hannah playing Sax, Ste the guitarist, Tessa the Violin, Charlotte another Sax and Ben the drummer, they surely know how to drive a crowd into delight.
With a debut album in 2009, Carnival Militia, they brought their attention to themselves developing their very own popularity. In 2011 that popularity has grown even further with the released of their second album, The Gentleman Bandits.
With the Manchester scene bringing ever so much more and better Ska bands influenced by their peculiar hardcore punk scene which is becoming a part of the City social and cultural history, we can only expect better influences for these guys and hope to see them much often.
