Combining American and English influences, The Brixton Riot fuses elements of 70's power-pop and punk, 80's jangle-rock and 90's indie rock into a sound that is both familiar and distinct. The Replacements, Big Star and The Jam represent only a small fraction of the band's influences.

Their debut EP, "Sudden Fiction," was recorded over two Saturdays by Don Sternecker (The Feelies, Luna, The Figgs) at Mixolydian Studios in Lafayette, NJ.

The Brixton Riot is Mark Wright (formerly of The Christies), Steve Hass and Jerry Lardieri (both formerly of Elektraluxe) and Matt Horutz (formerly of The Love Scene). Matt replaces original TBR drummer Rob Silverman, who left the group in November of 2008.
