Alt-pop punk rockers RiotWeekend are stoked to release their bouncy and feel good new single “Last Of The Autumn Leaves” on 27th May. The band comment on the release:
“Last of the Autumn” leaves is a proper pop punk romance song perfect for the summer! Studded belts, tattooed arms and the excitement of new love. It’s a song we’ve been playing live for a while and always knew it would be on our new EP, although it really came together in the studio where we added lots of harmonies and a little extra spice!
The track is the opener from the sophomore EP, Table4Four, out now on CD/digital download now direct from the band here and all good digital platforms. Get Ready To Rock called it: “A decent set of songs and most importantly, catchy and well played/produced. 4/5” and Overtone Magazine enthusiastically stated: “One I will definitely be spinning plenty moving forward. 8/10.”
It follows the spiky edged heavy riffs of “Smile”, the poignant and reflective “Days In December” and “Harry”, which was Photogroupie‘s Video of The Week and received high praise from alternative show BSB TV hosts exclaiming “I really f****** like that, really unique, so much potential,” and esteemed music commentator Eric Alper called it “Fearless, and full of heart – just the way punk should be.” As they say themselves, proudly wearing their hearts on sleeves:
We’ve unapologetically drawn from our influences and created what we would love to hear if we were listening to it, you have to be into what you play as it’s a medium to connect with others.

The band recorded, self-produced and mixed at Blackberry Studios Chichester with mastering expertly handled by the renowned Pete Maher (Jack White, Linkin Park, Liam Gallagher).
Blending pop punk catchiness with hard hitting huge riffs and wide ranging soaring vocals, the Guildford UK based colourful quartet of Holly Nunn (lead vocals and bass), Tomma Moulard (guitars), Rab McGowan (guitars) and Salvatore Bertolone (drums) released their self-titled debut EP in 2022 which gained international and BBC Introducing airplay along with rave reviews including Pop-Punk Pizza Podcast enthusing: “Energetic and exciting, if you enjoy grunge, punk, post-hardcore and emo influences, then you will definitely like them.”
Drawing favourable comparisons to such party club night names as Green Day, Blink-182, Paramore, they deliver a kinetic and crowd engaging performance each time they hit the stage with them announced for eclectic award winning festivals Guilfest and Shynefest this summer. The band describe their ethos:
We’re passionate about righting wrongs in the world, but certainly don’t take ourselves too seriously! We want to show everyone that you can have fun even with tragic situations. The songs we write are at times very personal and we hope that it can help or inspire people in their time of need but there’s also the funny weird side to us that likes to have a laugh!
With the new offering, they’re on a mission for all those that feel a misfit, left out or want to belong in their own personal identity no matter what and conclude with:
We love hanging out, connecting, hearing and sharing experiences at shows – at ours or those we go to. We’re really happy that people have been enjoying the EP that we honed and worked on in our set, we took them into the studio and added some magic! Keep on listening, then see us live and you’ll be buzzing, would have made new friends and be grinning for days!
With emboldened enthusiasm and more escapades to be had, RiotWeekend may well be the new band that’s heading straight into your playlists to uplift and a live show you need to see.
