Singles from She's a Riot | ||||
She's a Riot is the second extended play by Australian indie rock band The Jungle Giants, released independently on 27 July 2012.
Lead singer Sam Hales said the songs reflected a time in his life when he experienced love for the first time, saying: "I've had good and bad experiences in relationships and it's good to draw from both the good and the bad."[4]
Critical reception
[edit]Stephen Rae from Music Feeds said that despite being new to the music scene, "[the Jungle Giants] have asserted themselves as real up-and-comers amidst an ever-growing scene." He added: "As a band that may be still finding their feet but are more than capable of producing some top quality in the process."[5]
Antigone Anagnostellis from Purple Sneakers said: "[the Jungle Giants] down-to-earth lyrics and solid arrangements are reminiscent of an early Kooks or Jinja Safari. You can tell these guys were friends in high school – their musical talents fit well together."[6]
Charley Rico from The Courier-Mail said the EP is full of "catchy riffs and full of pop-driven melodies".[4]
