Radiate opens with a growling industrial snarl that crashes into a relentless guitar riff, towering synths and brooding vocals. Id been let down by a friend and wed drifted apart, says frontman Adam. I thought Id moved onto better things, then realisation hit: no-ones perfect. Sometimes we all need saving.

The Rialto Burns are named after a newspaper headline during the 9 day Toxteth race riots of 1981 which saw the Rialto Ballroom burnt to the ground. They formed two years ago after a domino effect of chance meetings powered by a shared love of The Smiths, New Order, Echo & The Bunnymen and Devo.

The story spirals, rather exotically, from the inner city indie hangouts of Liverpool, to a bedroom in North Wales. Paul (bass) and Alex (guitar) both served time in bands theyd rather forget, Cogsy (guitar) bumped into Paul in a pub, and an ad was placed on Gigwise, which Adam (vocalist) answered. They also spent a year hunting for a drummer, but eventually decided to opt for a drum machine instead less sweat and drum-sticks flying around.

Since, theyve been slaving away in the studio on the album, gigging across the UK with the likes of Hot Club De Paris and Good Shoes, and working on a few lo-fi videos.

The Rialto Burns release Radiate on 7 June the album follows early August. They hit London on April 22 for a show at The Water Rats.
