I’ve been lucky enough to see RRRIOT! live a couple times now, and I can confidently say that this is a band that brings the house down every single time they play, leaving their audience reeling and one hundred percent ready for more the second they stop. Four powerhouse musicians came together and created a super mega powerhouse of a band, and this powerhouse-y power is on full display in their stunner of a debut single “Jaded”.
“Jaded” gets it going from the very beginning, with a classic heavy drum-lead in followed by a bass-guitar combo that’ll knock you out! Interestingly enough, I feel like the guitar & bass in the intro could be perfect for a surf-rock song, if not for the killer drums. Don’t get it twisted, I think the drums are totally awesome. I’m just saying, RRRIOT might be able to lead a double musical life as a surf-rock band too! The backing instrumental of “Jaded” is absolutely stellar on it's own, supplying half of the head-banging rhythm that makes the tune really sound like RRRIOT! But the vocals, with their raw emotion and stacked power, are really something else. Just add ‘em to the already extensive list of what makes this song great, right?
With “Jaded”, RRRIOT! has put out a song for screaming alone in your room, for cranking up at a party, for showing to all your friends and thinking about all the time. I can just tell that this will absolutely KILL live, probably toppling over the crowd like bowling pins with the sheer power and rockin’ heart behind it. STRIKE!
