Riot Stares Teases New Album ‘Sounds of Acceleration’ with “Trip Chain” Single/Video

Today, Charleston, SC band Riot Stares have announced their new album, Sounds of Acceleration, set for release on January 20th on DAZE. Having already shared the standalone single “Relief Technique,” the band follows it up with “Trip Chain.” The track wastes no time making an impact, hitting hard with chunky, groove-driven guitars. The band’s fusion of hardcore and alternative rock exudes relentless energy, only matched by the live performance moments in the video.

Sounds of Acceleration was recorded and mixed by John Howard at War House Recordings (Ecostrike, Yashira) in Gainesville, FL and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege (Mindforce, End It) in Portland, OR. It follows the band’s previously released EPs, Riot Stares (2016) and Let The Phase Speak (2017).

The band comments on the album, stating:

“We were trying to give the sense that you’re stuck in something you don’t have any control of and that everything’s happening fast and you can’t slow it down.”
