Like the bastard offspring of Elvis Costello and The Stooges, The Rikters play pop distilled until it's gritty, heavy and raw. With the basic elements of guitar, bass, drums and vocals, The Rikters deliver finely crafted tunes with the weight of a sledgehammer.
In other words: The Rikters are a Rock Band.
“[The Rikters' self-titled album] is a record unafraid to truly rock without concern for attitude or hipster posturing.”
Matt Pais - Metromix
"No-nonsense Power Rock"
Chicago Tribune
"the trio’s “neo-classic indie rock” has a fullness that belies its basic setup... Get It sounds amazing."
