{"product_id":"rj-and-the-riots","title":"RJ And The Riots","description":"\u003cp\u003eLed by teen guitar wizard Ramon “RJ” Jacinto, RJ \u0026amp; THE RIOTS was one of the first rock\u0026amp;roll \/beat bands from the Philippines and certainly the first to release original rock n’ roll songs with lyrics in their own country.  This is the first ever reissue of their second album, originally released in 1964 and now impossible to find (four stars rating in Hans Pokora’s 1001 Record Collector Dreams book). Including original songs like the monster instrumental “Fuzzed”, the garage sounding “Advertising Man”, “Girl Nice”, the surf rock of “Trip To Manila” and more plus a few rad covers (Beach Boys, Buddy Holly…). The album was recorded at the home studio built by whizz kid Ramón Jacinto, who also operated his own record label (RJ Productions), magazine (Teenstone) and radio station (from his parent’s backyard!)  RJ and the Riots started as a high school band of classmates composed of Ramon “RJ” Jacinto (lead guitar), Alan Austria (bass guitar), Jimmy Colayco (rhythm guitar) and Bernie Evangelista (drums) with ages ranging from 15-17 years old. They were one of the first bands with electric instruments in the Philippines and this album marked the transition from instrumental rock to vocals.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Guerssen","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50450933580107,"sku":"2212961","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/RJ_and_the_Riots_2b8c6dd3_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727116127","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/rj-and-the-riots","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
