Ra Ra Riot sign and record
Ra Ra Riot are signed, sealed, and now ready to deliver.
The Syracuse based quintet, who recently signed with Basurck Records, have announced plans to release their debut album, entitled The Rhumb Line, on August 19. A U.K. release date, through V2 Records, will be some time after that.
While the band has yet to announced a tracklist, Spin notes EP favorite “Dying is Fine” will be included. We’re also thinking “Anthony” as another possibility (Check out below). As for the task of producing, it appears that job will go to Ryan Hadlock, known for his previous work with The Cribs, Gossip, and Blonde Readhead.
Currently, the band have just a few shows scheduled in months ahead. However, if you have the opportunity, we recommend it.
