Robert Vincent – Riot’s Cry

• 16th Oct 2012

‘Riot’s Cry’ is the first single from Liverpudlian singer-songwriter Robert Vincent, released October 21st, following the release of his two EPs ‘The Bomb’ and ‘My Pill’.

Robert explains the story behind the song – “Riot’s Cry is based on our fears and our belief systems. Some people may hide behind religion or technology and social networks in turn making themselves feel stronger but ultimately it’s about finding your own riot’s cry – your own inner strength without always having turn to another belief system that can sometimes give us a false sense of reality and security”.

Having grown up in Crosby, North Liverpool, Robert has always immersed himself in an eclectic mix of folk, rock and country music. Raiding his family’s record collections, he found gems from Van Morrison, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, and Johnny Cash which have so greatly influenced and informed his own style of music along with such contemporaries as Ryan Adams, Ray LaMontagne and David Gray.

“Life In Easy Steps”, Robert’s debut album, will be released early 2013 and is an open door to his inner workings, filled with songs that tell the story of his life. Having had to deal with becoming a father at a young age and therefore putting music, his passion and dreams to one side, he took jobs to provide for his family. Then, like anyone learning their trade, he worked at his art and after numerous set ups and local bands who split just as things seemed about to happen, he found his riot’s cry and completed his debut solo album.

Robert is finally getting his music out to a wider audience and early support has already come from Radio 2’s Janice Long as well as numerous regional sessions and Robert is now embarking on an extensive UK tour to promote his upcoming single, ‘Riot’s Cry’.

‘Riot’s Cry’ will be released October 21st on DB Industries
