The Charlie Watts Riots

Welcome Metroland Readers!

Hey, big ups to Metroland Magazine for bestowing upon us the honor of “Best Pop Band.”

“A long line of great power-pop bands runs through the history of the Albany music scene, and the Charlie Watts Riots are keeping the torch bright. The Riots are everything we look for in a guitar-pop band: Big choruses with melody to spare, guitars that sound like jet engines, a whip-tight rhythm section, and suits fresh from the cleaners. Their Long Story Short album is, like many works of this style, equal parts homage and mission statement—practiced, polished, and with a lot of punch. Just the way we like it.”

Sweet!  Come see what the fuss is about as we share the stage with The Figgs.

Still not convinced? Jeez, you’re a tough customer.  Check out the rock for yourself on iTunes:
