The Hot Press Gift Guide: Unfinished Business: Risky Business

An eight-piece from Skerries, Risky Business are a big band with an even bigger sound. Terming their style “Brass Rock”, their music covers a spectrum of sounds from power-pop to funk with occasional shades of country and jazz. Unfinished Business is their debut album released this year, recorded at Westland Studios in Dublin with all songs written and arranged by the band. Risky Business have been honing and perfecting their sound with knockout performances at festivals like Electric Picnic, where they played the Trailer Park stage for four consecutive years, a tour of Ontario in Canada, and gigs in the UK, Spain and Portugal. Unfinished Business features feel-good single ‘Climb All Over You’, along with fellow standouts ‘Just Forget it’ and ‘Last Night’, making it a brilliant stocking-filler.
