New York, NY (Top40 Charts) After recently adding BBC Radio One's Jack Saunders and BBC 6music's Tom Robinson to their growing list of supporters, Brighton fuzz pop quartet BEACH RIOT are pleased to reveal the video for their latest single 'Wrong Impression' which is out now on Alcopop! Records.

The band are currently bunkered down in the studio working on a body of new material—their first since the 2018 Beach Riot EP—with details to be announced over the coming months.

Inspired by the 8-bit computer games of the '80s and '90s, the video for the single follows the band's previously released Instagram filter arcade game, with the aim being to use face movement to fly a spaceship through a minefield of waving cats (obviously), whilst an instrumental of the song's thunderous intro plays in the background.

To play along, search "CATNIP 3000" on Instagram filters.

Earlier this year the band's UK tour with labelmates Gaffa Tape Sandy was sadly cut short due to coronavirus, but during lockdown the band have been keeping busy taking part in DORK Magazine's Homeschool Festival, playing an Instagram Live gig for venue chain Jimmy's, releasing an acoustic set filmed back in February for Pinkn.oise, and recording an exclusive cover of 'Do You Believe' by The Cardigans for George Godfrey's (Radio X, Alt Disco) #LifeMentalHealth campaign.

Hotly tipped for the 2020 live circuit before the pandemic, the quartet have previously played Reading & Leeds Festival 2018 and Truck Festival 2019.

Press support from Kerrang! Magazine, CLASH, MOJO, The iNewspaper, Louder Than War and LOUDER has been bolstered by a #12 spot on the Amazing Radio Chart, an evening playlist addition from XS Manchester, plus key radio spins from Huw Stephens and Daniel P Carter at BBC Radio One, John Kennedy at Radio X, BBC Scotland's Vic Galloway, Total Rock, legendary US station KEXP, and BBC introducing.

Previous stand alone singles 'Tune In, Drop Out' and 'Robot' have racked up a combined 150k plays on Spotify to date.

Further details of new material will be revealed soon.

'Wrong Impression' is out now on Alcopop! Records

BEACH RIOT are:
Rory O'Connor (guitars, vocals)
Cami Menditeguy (guitar and vocals)
Jim Faulkner (bass and vocals)
Jonny Ross (drums)

Beach Riot were born when guitarist/vocalist Cami Menditeguy made the decision to up-sticks and move halfway across the world to East London from her home country of Argentina at just 18.

Desperate to front her own band, living on a remote horse farm alone was no longer an option; so, to raise funds for the move, Cami made her flight money by gambling on horse races. Meeting fellow guitarist/vocalist Rory O'Connor at a show in East London—and finding a shared love for ice-cream, weird guitars, PJ Harvey, Mudhoney, 4am mozzarella sticks, dark comedy, dungeons and dragons, and Brighton beach hangover fry-ups—at last Beach Riot were born, and the gamble had paid off.

The band released their self-titled debut EP Beach Riot in 2018, with a string of standalone singles 'She's A Hurricane' (2017), 'Serial Scruff' (2018), 'Robot' (2019) and 'Stuck Inside' (2019) keeping momentum and buzz around the band's potent blend of lo-fi drone rock, heavy riffs, and indie pop.
