Think: Bloc Party, The Killers, Gang Of Four, The Cure, The Strokes, The Kaiser Chiefs Quad Riot are: Johnny Negro - vocals, guitar Jut man - guitar Clint Bigwood - bass and backing vocals Crazy George - drums, general craziness People first stumbled across Quad Riot when they played under the name "10 Side Zero" at Chathams Infamous venue the Tap'n'Tin (Where Pete Doherty & the Libertines re-joined). After successful gigs as a three piece they felt they needed another guitarist to free them up to play the frantic guitar based music that drives them. So enter Justin (Jut man) Easton, long-time friend to the band and Bassist from popular local band "Orphan". They then renamed themselves "Quad Riot" because they had all been to the same school and had been punished as students with the dreaded Quadrangle. They set out to write a set of songs that was representative of everything they had been without the constraints of being a three piece. It was, to use a journalistic clich, like someone had fed The Strokes some very good amphetamines and introduced them to The Cure. Johnny Negro remarks that "We're writing songs to dance and pull to, and if you want to see the darker side it's there. But that's not a prerequisite to liking our tunes. Everyone can relate to what we're talking about! From love on the internet to racial harrasment to physchos with menacing eyes! We package it up in a nice little tune so it's palatable for you!". After an overwhelming positive response to the changes in the band and the direction of the music, they felt it was time to record. Quad Riot have just completed recording their self funded demo EP entitled "Ctrl Alt Del.". Ears are pricking, people are paying attention! They plan on gigging hard, learning their craft and writing more great songs. Theres no doubt that 2006 is the year Quad Riot will find you.
