"Ra Ra Riot combine Arcade Fire's orchestral reveries with Vampire Weekend's pop sensibility for an album that's both effervescent and heartbreaking. FOUR STARS" – Rolling Stone
“With moments of pop savvy reminiscent of their pals in Vampire Weekend and the emotional subtlety of the Shins, Ra Ra Riot's songs inhabit a space that is both bubbly and bittersweet.” – Pitchfork
In the two short years that Ra Ra Riot have been together they have taken their band from the campus of Syracuse University to crowds across North America and Europe touring with the likes of Editors and Tokyo Police Club. Their debut full length album The Rhumb Line came out this August on Barsuk. The young group recently came through LA and stopped in at The Echo where Mania TV and Spaceland Recordings captured the energy of their live show. Keeping their relentless touring schedule alive the band has recently announced a slew of new dates that you can check out at www.myspace.com/rarariot
