If The Arcade Fire had grown up in the American suburbs, I imagine they'd sound a lot like Ra Ra Riot. Hailing from Syracuse, the band tragically lost its original drummer due to a freak drowning accident in June 2007. Despite this misfortune, the band vowed to remain together, and released it's debut full length album, The Rhumb Line, last August. The band is currently on tour supporting Death Cab For Cutie, and will be performing at the All Points West music festival in New Jersey on July 31.
Big Ra Ra Riot fan. They even played a few songs at WNRN. I would say anyone that likes this band, give The Arctic Monkeys a look see. You might be pleasantly surprised.
