Riot for Romance, a trio of musicians/friends who reside in separate states (Georgia, Colorado and Florida), will release their self-titled EP digitally, and on cassette and lathe cut vinyl, on Friday. Friend Club Records and Steadfast Records have teamed up with the band for the release.


Today, the Big Takeover brings you an exclusive stream of the new record.

For the unindoctrinated, the members of the post-punk/shoegaze/alternative rock band aren’t newbies by a long stretch — Jason Hansen (vocals, guitars, keys); Brett Miotti (bass); and Kelly Nunn (drums/guitars) have over 20 years of experience. They’ve toured, logged studio time, produced internationally distributed releases, performed at music festivals and have been played on the radio.

Individually, the members of Riot for Romance cut their teeth performing in a variety of acts including Sleeping by the Riverside, the Sincerity Guild, Maylene and the Sons of Disaster, Underoath and Never Enough.


As equal partners in songwriting, the guys clearly have their sights set on leaving an imprint on music.


“The amazing thing about an album is that it can deliver a collection of songs that are individually unique while still bound together,” Hansen said. “Our self-titled EP reflects this for me. We embarked on a new creative process of writing and recording separately from three different states. A considerable number of texts, calls, FaceTime and shared iCloud uploads ensued in building it. It’s amazing what you can do from separate locations with close friends when you let a song tell its own story.”
