Once upon a time I lived in Leeds. One of the first shows I went to was the 2014 StrangeForms Festival, put on by our now lovely pals in Bad Owl Presents. This band I didn’t know called Lost In The Riots were about to play, and I had to make a choice between seeing them or staying in the main bar to play foosball and scoring free Samual Smith stouts from some of our chums behind the bar. In the end I made the right decision. And I still scored the Samuel Smiths.

I’ve been consistently blown away by this band and the sonic landscapes they construct for the audience. So I was doubly surprised coming into their new single ‘I Was A Fucking Jet Engine’, which portrays a more jagged edge to the Riots sound. ‘I Was A Fucking Jet Engine’ is a fresh cut from the band’s highly anticipated third album Bonds and sees the band forgoing their post rock scaffolding for a sound that is punchy, heavy and dissonant. This is a side of the band you’ve never heard. Until now.
