‘TIRED OF GETTING OLD’
Clap Clap Riot
In 2016 our favourite kiwi lads brought us their sweet 60’s inspired summer anthem ‘Help Me’ receiving raving reviews both in Oz and our sister land New Zealand. With 2017 upon us the surf-rockers have delivered us the second swash buckling single ‘TIRED OF GETTING OLD’ off their much awaited third album.
Keeping good company, Clap Clap Riot’s forthcoming LP has been produced by Tom Healy (Tiny Ruins, Pop Strangers) and mastered by none other than Jared Hirshland (USA) who recently mastered the hugely successful Anderson .Paak’s internationally acclaimed album Malibu, which scored a Grammy nomination for Best Urban Contemporary Album.
In 3.38 mins Clap Clap Riot have truly captured the summer vibes on ‘Tired Of Getting Old’ with whistling hooks, fuzzy riffs and rollicking grooves. The up-tempo melodic gem has Brit-post-punk vocals and classic vintage keys that delivers that retro charm. While it’s remarkably a different flavour to the first single ‘Help Me’, it still maintains their signature sound, which demonstrates their diverse songwriting ability.
‘It tackles the subject of aging and the quest to fight against the desire to settle down.’ – Dave Rowlands – Guitarist – CLAP CLAP RIOT
‘Overall, it’s five stars from me. Clap Clap Riot’s popularity is much deserved’ – TEARAWAY
‘CCRiot remain one of the most important New Zealand bands of the moment’ – ELSEWHERE.CO.AU
‘Their songs are entertainingly snotty stabs at punky pop that fuse eras with élan, capturing that eternal, adrenaline-pumping spirit of youth.’ METRO MAGAZINE

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
