Clap Clap Riot Drop New Single 'Mama'

Clap Clap Riot's recent single 'It's Alright' was a firecracker of a garage punk tune and they've followed up with arms in the air rock rager 'Mama'. A timely themed number about how avoiding issues solves absolutely zip, 'Mama' is a singalong anthem that's sure to get crowds moving when the band finally hit local stages again in early February, under Aotearoa's new traffic light Covid-19 Protection Framework for events. CCR's Dave Rowland spilled the beans about the track: “It looks at the way we often try and avoid our problems by running away... It’s then about the realisation that we are better to come back to where we all started, and face these problems head on.”

UPDATE: Clap Clap Riot's nationwide tour has been cancelled due to new Covid-19 restrictions, here's the band's full statement:

"Kia ora friends, Unfortunately the third time was not the charm and the move to the red light setting means we can no longer pull off our February tour safely. This time, it's a straight-up cancellation.

Thanks to everyone who bought tickets, especially those who have been hanging on to them since our original tour in March 2021. You should receive an email from UTR (Moshtix for Wellington)for your refund.

We are obviously very disappointed, but very much looking forward to getting back on the stage in front of you later in the year, or next year, or whenever restrictions allow.

Stay safe whānau. CCR xx"
