Singer Joe Ragosta comments: “This is my favorite Patent Pending album that we’ve ever made. I know I’ve said that about previous albums, but this one beats those because we’ve finally been able to achieve symmetry between the band we’ve been and the band that we want to be. I think that after all of these years of pushing our sound in different directions and dabbling in every genre we’ve finally found the balance between rock, punk, pop and everything else that we’ve been striving for. The lyrics have more meaning, the the rhythms have more feeling and the choruses hit harder than they ever have for us. There are twelve eccentric yet related ideas here and I’m proud of every single one of them.

Riot Hearts Rebellion is the title because that song is our battlecry. It’s a story about struggle, individuality, hope and revolution. It’s about doing what we believe in and not backing down no matter what obstacles we face along the way. Here in Patent Pending we’ve never wanted to pretend to be something, musically or personally, that we’re not to try and fit in. This refusal to conform to trends in any music genre whether it be pop-punk, rock, pop, hip-hop etc. has made us underdogs of the music business. Every time I read the title of this album it reminds me that we’re not scared to be the underdogs, we’re not worried about what other people are doing and we’re certainly not afraid of what they think of us. Riot Hearts Rebellion is a reminder that as long as we keep doing what we believe in the world will have no choice but to pay attention.”

BIOGRAPHY:

Patent Pending is an acrobatic gang of musical misfits from Long Island, New York. With a never-say-die attitude and enough energy to power Times Square, they’ve set their sites on taking over the music industry from the ground up. Growing in size from basements to amphitheaters across the world, from VFW Halls to sold out headlining shows in the United Kingdom, they’ve never let go of the genuine DIY code of ethics the band was founded on over a decade ago. The live show, which has been described as “psychotically fun and dramatically moving,” is an inspiring testament to the passion the band pours into every aspect of their lives. With an ever growing army of “lifers” behind them, better known as “The Second Family”, Patent Pending continues to deliver new music that pulls influence from all corners of the musical spectrum, creating a fearless and eclectic blend of genre-bending, arena ready anthems.

Hard work and dedication have yielded some incredible results for Patent Pending. They’ve enjoyed the success of three music videos reaching the coveted #1 spot on MTV.com, with rotation on MTV, MTV2, MTVu, Fuse on Demand in the United States as well as Kerrang TV and Scuzz TV in the United Kingdom in 2015. Music from the band’s recent releases has been featured weekly in the latest seasons of MTV’s “The Real World”, “The Challenge” “Snookie & JWoww” and E! Entertainment’s “Total Divas”. In 2012 PP’s warrior like determination won them a Billboard Music Award! The “Dream Seeker Of The Year” trophy afforded them the honor of delivering a ground-shaking performance of their song “Dance Til We Die” in front of a National Television audience of over 8 MILLION home viewers. The New York natives continue to build on their international success in the form of multiple sold out headlining UK tours, a 2015 headlining run through Germany  and performances at globally renowned festivals like Donnington Park’s historic DOWNLOAD FESTIVAL as well as Australia’s legendary SOUNDWAVE FESTIVAL. Never scared to push the envelope creatively, the group self-produced an independent film entitled “Mario & The Brick Breakers” in support of their witty 2015 sing-a-long single, “Hey Mario”. The movie came with an accompanying soundtrack. “Mario & The Brick Breakers: Greatest Hits”, which stayed in the Top 10 on the UK iTunes charts for a full week.

With an insatiable desire for creating new music, which is evident from their recent signing to the international label Rude Records, and a genuine love for performing live, Patent Pending shows no signs of slowing down and even less of forgetting where they came from. A quote from a recent interview with front man, Joe Ragosta can best explain – “The music makes us a band, the connection with the people who listen to that music makes us a family, and family is stronger than anything.”
