Riff Raff was a legendary rock magazine based in London in the late 80s and 90s. A genuine working class rock mag, written and edited by "the lads" in a drug-N-Jack-D-fuelled haze, it was just too R n’R for its own good, falling behind more trainspotterly publications like Q, Kerrang, and Mojo. This website is an archive and kind of shrine to the writing of its greatest "hacks," most of whom have faded in embarrassing middle age, with at least one of them having a Smule account.
With a name like Kyte
I thought they would be shite,
but although nothing brilliant,
they were almost alright. I wouldn't quite say that
they're a band that I like,
but I might, if they just had
a little more bite.
As they are, I would opine,
at the end of the day,
that though they may be fine they do sound a bit gay.
