Out of the ashes of the much-missed Fell City Girl, Oxford-based 4-piece The Winchell Riots have had a pretty explosive beginning. Their debut Oxford show sold out well in advance such was the hype, their second show at Truck Festival saw over 800 people pack into the Barn Stage to watch their set, and their third show saw the band tear apart Manchester’s In The City showcase conference. Formed over a love of the novels of Philip Roth, mixing up Death Cab For Cutie with Bjork and Sigur Ros, and with support slots ranging from iLikeTrains to Michael Rother (Kraftwerk/Neu! founding member). With shows booked nationally across the UK since late 2009, it looks like The Winchell Riots might have a bright future ahead of it. Description from last.fm.
