Calm Like a Riot spit their fusion of rock, funk and hip-hop with a contagious energy. The Worcester-based band vent their anger in a way you would expect having grown up on the mean, urban streets of middle-class, middle-England. Each night they put across their musical message in such a style that never fails to make the people of Worcestershire look up from their humous and olive ciabatta and take note. Led from the front by their hard talking, hard working lyricist John “Anger Manager”, and ably backed up by Pete, Dan and Mick (Middle Managers), Calm Like a Riot are not afraid to confront the issues of the day. There are wars going on, there is greed, there is global warming and there is injustice and the boys won’t let you leave without telling you what they think. Do we sit back and do nothing while the world faces these problems, or do we write an edgy, rap verse and a catchy chorus on the matter? I know what Calm Like a Riot would do. Calm Like a Riot. Mic in hand, tongue in cheek.
