Riskee and the Ridicule

Riskee & The Ridicule return with their new single, GHETTOBLASTER - The UK grime-punk band at their most unfiltered. For more than a decade, the five-piece powerhouse have built a reputation on relentless energy, massive global tours, and scathing political attacks. Following the critical success of albums like DAWN OF THE DOG, BLAME CULTURE, and PLATINUM STATUE their 2023 release , the band continues to look inward, capturing the raw, chaotic reality of modern survival.“GHETTO BLASTER” is a loud, spiralling collision of punk, rave culture, and self-destruction blasted through a speaker that is permanently in the red. Musically and lyrically, the track feels like a pirate radio transmission from the end of the night. Packed with razor-sharp one-liners, pub-floor philosophy, and dark humour, it swings between taking aim at industry fakery and documenting the burnout of ageing in underground music scenes.There is chaos, swagger, and self-sabotage in equal measure. The track dives headfirst into bad decisions, addiction, debt, and performative politics. Yet, underneath the abrasive noise, GHETTOBLASTER is fundamentally a song about survival. It is an honest attempt to drown out doubt, disappointment, and modern Britain’s constant static by turning the volume all the way up. It is abrasive, funny, uncomfortable, and honest—exactly what Riskee & The Ridicule are all about. Catch them bringing this ferocious new energy to stages across the UK.
