Nathan and the crew at Riot Act are one of the hardest working press teams in the game. From day one of hiring them to work with our Artists, they've been on our side and worked doggedly to get amazing coverage for them. I'd highly suggest them to anyone else looking to make an impact with a record. They're honest, and awesome.
—Jeremy Peters, Quite Scientific Records

People like you enrich our cause to provide exposure for the artists that need to be seen and not lost amid the smoke, mirrors and indifference from the outlets that are supposed to have the artists and fans best interests in mind but go for the easiest common denominator because it'll get whoever mad clicks and traffic and stuff.

I actually read Riot Act's emails. Other PR companies… not so much. You can put that on your Testimonials page.

Nathan, and Riot Act Media, went so far beyond the call of duty promoting my film, MAKE, that it still continues to blow my mind. Although this was their first time out promoting a movie, they brought in press from so many amazing outlets that never would have heard of my small film otherwise; including Paper Magazine, SPIN, The Huffington Post, and the Utne Reader just to name a few. I will definitely be returning to Riot Act Media in the future in order to have them shepherd my new projects out into the world. Honestly, it was an incredible (and extremely productive) experience working with them!
—Scott Ogden, Director of MAKE

Kelly McClure of Riot Act Media did a knock out job when it came to working the Tunabunny album Minima Moralia. I mean c'mon with a band name like that she had her work cut out for her, but she still got us in NPR, Village Voice, New York Mag, Brooklyn Vegan, San Francisco Weekly, and the list goes on and on. The press reports always came in on time, stayed in constant contact, and they never laughed at any of the press ideas brought to them. Already planning on working some future releases through Riot Act in 2012.

I love Riot Act Media. Nathan and Joan are smart, honest and true music fans. It's awesome to have them chatting to folks about a project you love!
—Lisa Moran, Manager of Basia Bulat

I worked with Joan and Nathan on the Sea of Bees Songs for The Ravens release and they were great to work with! They not only did a great job on promoting the record and got us some great press coverage, they even helped us secure a spot on NPR and helped us with a few shows in Portland as well! They went above and beyond the call of duty and I'm getting ready to hire them again for another project.
—John Bacciagalupi, Manager of Sea Of Bees

As a workaholic, I find kinship with my brethren at Riot Act. Nathan and Joan shone like beacons in the night, helping me achieve my goals with Visqueen's Message to Garcia release and heavy tour press. As a label owner, songwriter, and bandmate, I consider them a fabulous and essential part of my business.
—Rachel Flotard, Owner of Local 638 Records - Musician in Visqueen and Cobirds Unite

Nathan and Joan are at the top of our list of favourite people - and favourite publicists! They give our releases that extra little bit of personal attention that keeps us coming back again and again. Riot Act. We love you!

As a newborn music festival, in a city of many music festivals, Portland Folk Festival had a tough challenge of standing out its first year. Thanks to the hard work and efforts of Riot Act, Portland Folk Festival received great press and was well attended and supported by the community.
