Rieser's debut album "The Well Dressed Thief" was released in August 2007 as a digital download & CD.

The 12 track album compiles all the finest songs the band have penned over the last couple of years and was described as "ONE OF THE BEST SCOTS ROCK DEBUTS OF THE YEAR" by Jim Gellatly of XFM Scotland.

NEW RELEASE – “DRINKING DEN EP” - May 2009

Two years on from our debut album and awash with new tunes we make our return with "Drinking Den", a new four-track EP. This fantastic new selection of songs will be released in May 2009 as both a download and limited edition CD. The EP is already receiving considerable airplay courtesy of eager radio presenters, including on the BBC and many internet stations and podcasts.

  • Phew!

    Loads! Loads we say! Reviews, radio play and a gig!

    The Daily Record Reviewed the EP on Friday.
    THE band's 2007 debut album The Well Dressed Thief included the song Rockstar. But judging by the band's new music - the leather trousers are in storage. Always a group that refused to play one style, on the Drinking Den EP at least it seems they are going for that crusty folk beloved of The Wonder Stuff or The Levellers. The title tune dances like a wacked out hippy around a fire. The Actor could be from The Wonder Stuff's back catalogue. The bass bounces along so The Actor can't be John Gielgud. Maybe a youngster like David Tennant. Call Me Round is back to trippy folk and blissed out vocals. Even final tune The Ringmaster which starts with a great rip-roaring guitar falls back into an acoustic campfire guitar blur. But there's a nice line "my god the clown's are coming" and the famous circus theme played on the guitar.

    EP Launch this Friday night at Maggie's Chamber (upstairs in The 3 Sisters) Cowgate Edinburgh. Doors open 9pm, FREE. We will have plenty of EP's CD's, badges, stickers and booze to give away

    BBC Radio Scotland's Rapal played Call Me Round on Tuesday 24 March.
