| Riot For Romance cover Radiohead’s “Karma Police,” release second edition of EP |
 Photo by Brian Manley Riot For Romance’s cover of Radiohead’s “Karma Police” became available via streaming. The cover comes from an EP that they are currently tracking for Steadfast Records. Listen to it here. “Riot For Romance has an eclectic and broad set of influences,” says Riot For Romance’s Jason Hansen. “Radiohead is certainly hidden in there. I remember hearing ‘Karma Police’ for the first time in 1997. It was such a departure from Radiohead’s earlier alternative music, which seemed to blend more with the genre of the day. But this song and the album it appeared on? It was ahead of its time. It drew me back to Radiohead when I was departing alternative and grunge for more post-hardcore, shoegaze and emo sounds. Our hope is that our interpretation of ‘Karma Police’ truly pays homage to the original, while infusing our brand of post-punk, shoegaze and the alternative of today’s era.” Riot for Romance, a trio of musicians/friends who reside in separate states (Georgia, Colorado and Florida), released their self-titled EP digitally and on cassette and lathe cut vinyl, last February with Friend Club Records (Battle Ave, Common Sage, Eugenius) and Steadfast Records (Brandston, Zao, Golden Streets of Paradise) teaming up with the band for the release. The second edition of the EP sees release on lathe cut vinyl. It is a two-sided clear vinyl 10” with new ink colors, a two-color, screen-printed, fold-over cover printed on Speckletone French paper and limited to 50 copies. Order it here. 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.
