Riskee & The Ridicule
Born out of the working-class towns of Kent, Riskee & The Ridicule channel anger, heart and intelligence into something unmistakably their own — a fearless mix of punk energy, grime flow and hardcore intensity. It’s political without preaching, emotional without ego, and built to be shouted back from the crowd.

Frontman Scott Picking delivers words like a weapon — part social commentary, part therapy — backed by the razor-sharp force of Jim Baxter, Jordan Mann, and Matt Oxtoby. Together, they’ve carved a sound that hits as hard in a sweaty club as it does through your headphones: fast, furious and full of purpose.

From Download Festival to Rebellion, from DIY dives to sold-out headline tours across the UK and Europe, the band have earned a reputation as one of the most authentic and explosive live acts around. Every show feels like a rally — raw, real, and driven by connection.

Riskee & The Ridicule aren’t chasing trends or nostalgia. They’re pushing British punk forward — with honesty, rhythm, and the guts to say what others won’t.

Loud, fearless, and impossible to ignore — Riskee & The Ridicule are the sound of now.
