SINGLE REVIEW: Riotous Kin - Glory Elsewhere
Riotous Kin, the rock and roll brainchild of Upstate New York's D.M. Relik, explodes onto the scene with ‘Glory Elsewhere’. This track wastes no time with its thunderous, erratic drums, instantly setting a chaotic, urgent tone that demands attention. From there, the song hurtles forward with a relentless dose of alt-rock grit—raw, authentic, and completely unfiltered. Relik’s powerhouse vocals dominate, cutting through the mix with a confidence that matches the track’s unhinged energy, while guitar riffs and catchy hooks keep the track firing on all cylinders.
The drums truly stand out here, adding an unpredictable edge that juxtaposes neatly with the song's structured melodies. Relik blends tightly coordinated rhythms with bursts of frenzied, offbeat fills that feel almost ad-libbed, lending the track a unique buoyancy and drive. His style exudes a rare, impassioned authenticity, with each beat, riff, and vocal line sounding both confident and determined.
If this is the impact of D.M. Relik as a one-man band, it’s thrilling to imagine the force a full setup could bring to Riotous Kin's sound. With its universal appeal, it’s a shame his music isn’t yet on Spotify—this high-energy rock anthem would no doubt strike a chord with rock fans worldwide. Excellent stuff!
