    Release Date: June 5, 2026

    Since forming in August 2024, Four Act Riot have swiftly established themselves as a dynamic force in the South Wales music community, gracing stages at prominent venues and festivals like Lakefest. Their high-energy live shows have extended to London, where they performed at the renowned Dingwalls in Camden and captivated new audiences with their powerful stage presence.

    The band’s debut single, Drunk, has enjoyed radio play on both sides of the Atlantic, gaining support from independent and mainstream stations in the UK and the US. Even before its official release, their unreleased song Crisis caught the attention of music supervisors and was featured on the BBC TV series 'Stranded on Honeymoon Island,' introducing their music to a broader audience.

    Drawing on influences such as Catfish and the Bottlemen, Sam Fender, and Stereophonics, Four Act Riot blends anthemic choruses with heartfelt storytelling. Their music is characterized by soaring melodies, driving rhythms, and an authenticity that has helped them stand out in a crowded scene. Fans and critics alike have praised their ability to balance raw energy with emotional depth.

    Cardiff’s Four Act Riot are further solidifying their standing in the UK indie rock landscape with their new single, Insecure, set for release on June 5. The track showcases the group’s signature blend of melodic guitar lines and infectious vocal hooks, all wrapped in a rich, layered production style that nods to the British rock tradition while feeling fresh and current.

    Insecure dives deep into the complexities of modern relationships, with frontman Morgan Rees delivering a passionate vocal performance that captures both vulnerability and resilience. The lyrics tackle themes of self-doubt and emotional turbulence, resonating with listeners who have experienced the highs and lows of love. The band’s tight musicianship is on full display, with dynamic drumming and driving basslines underpinning shimmering guitar work.

    Insecure is poised to become a standout track in Four Act Riot’s growing catalogue, further establishing the Cardiff band as rising stars to watch in the UK indie rock scene.
