PRESS REVIEWS OF “THE WELL DRESSED THIEF”

“One of the Best Scots Rock Debuts of the Year!’”
Jim Gellatly, XFM Scotland

“RIESER have created a fantastic, many faceted jewel of an album that refuses to be pigeonholed. With the UK music scene turning into groups from New Rave to Grime it's a fresh approach to take from many pools but create something unique to yourself. This band have the musical armoury and the dedication as their song Rock Star shouts: " I wanna be a rock star". Let's hope a record label gives them their dream.”
Rick Fulton, Daily Record
