Feeding The Rich by RIZTS

Feeding The Rich is the latest single from RIZTS, a three-piece vegan post punk/post hardcore band from the UK. The track serves as a sharp social critique of the meat and dairy industries, embodying a bold punk rock ethos that highlights the band's energetic style and rebellious attitude.

As a rising group with a thought-provoking edge, RIZTS brings their dynamic sound to life in their latest release. The song is taken from their upcoming self-titled album, set to come out on October 4th, 2024, via Krautpop! Records. It presents a big part of the album’s essence, merging powerful lyrics, strong instrumentation and a defiant mood.

Frontman Billy says: "The single is demonstrative of the new approach to songwriting we are taking. Most of the writing of the RIZTS songs for this album start with a lyrically driven social-political theme based around the meat and dairy industry. This was still the case with Feeding the Rich, but I let Noah (drums) and Connor (bass) take on a stronger creative lead in the instrumentation and sonic direction of the song. This allowed each member the freedom to do what they do best and we began to create music that was an amalgamation of our collective musical tastes and influences. Noah began to bring in drum parts and rhythms that were somewhat math rock-esque, having a strong background in both metal and jazz, whilst Connor created a balance of busy basslines and more simple, spacious passages designed to serve the song in the ideal way."
