Risco: PPL Momentum Accelerator Tees
Project Title: Risco
Bio:
Risco are a high-energy outfit rapidly carving out their own space in the UK music scene. After exploding onto the digital stage with a series of viral TikTok covers that captured the ears of millions, the band proved they were far more than just a screen sensation. Transitioning seamlessly from viral clips to sweat soaked stages, Risco have spent the last year relentlessly touring the UK’s grassroots circuit, building a reputation for electrifying live performances and a fiercely loyal grassroots following.
The support of the PRS Foundation’s PPL Momentum Accelerator Fund marks a pivotal turning point for the band, providing the essential resources to transition from touring favorites to recording powerhouses. This award is directly fueling the creation of their highly anticipated debut EP, an ambitious project that aims to bottle the raw, kinetic energy of their live shows into a definitive studio recording.
Looking ahead, Risco are gearing up for a landmark year in 2026. The funding will support a comprehensive release strategy that includes a series of high-concept music videos and a meticulously planned national tour. Set for release at the end of 2026, the EP represents the culmination of their journey from viral newcomers to established artists. With the backing of PRS Foundation and PPL, Risco are not just releasing music; they are building a visual and sonic world that solidifies their status as one of the country’s most exciting bands to watch.
