Rich File releases new EP.

Those of you who skated in the early 90’s may well have bumped into Richard File skating around Sutton and Croydon with Curtis McCann and Paul Shier. Since then, he has worked with James Lavelle with the U.N.K.L.E project, released a bunch of stuff on Mo’Wax Records and co-written the film score to the film Sexy Beast.

Next month File’s brand new EP comes to the general public that sees a different side of his musical talents than before. “Neon One” is 3 tracks of subtle guitar work with an indie feel akin to the likes of Ambulance Ltd, Radiohead and The Verve’s psychedelic side of things.

“Neon One” lights up your life on 3rd July, more on the EP at Crossfire soon but check www.rich.fm for streamable tracks and all info.
