Of course a group now known world wide and before readers start thinking we’ve turned into just another mainstream music site, ‘Riot Van‘ was a simple, rebellious hidden gem on there critically acclaimed debut Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not.

An album that soon become the quickest selling british album ever this track was unfairly overshadowed by the phenomenal success of their released singles.
