Riskee and the Ridicule at the 1865 in Southampton last weekend. I’ve liked this band since I first saw them at a Ska Punk day in Bristol a good few years ago (Skank Fest?) where Jaya the Cat were headlining (the reason I went). Riskee came on quite early in afternoon as I recall and totally blew me away. Not a ska punk band though. Just high energy, powerful (grime?) punk rock with a DIY ethos. Fantastic band who smash it every time I see them. The 2nd album is on my all time favourite albums list. It’s an absolute banger (although they haven’t done a bad album yet). Thanks for the EP Jimbo, it was good to chat briefly. Sorry the photos aren’t great, I really should have taken my camera.
