Melbourne’s I Am the Riot need the services of a decent producer, but the song is there. Never Alone is a ripping DIY pop-punk anthem of the Paramore variety and the Soundwave audience is within their grasp. Singer Brendan Ryder has big, confident voice that catches on the notes in an interesting way.
