Rika are three dudes and one dudette from Vienna / Austria. The band exists since january 2005 but some band members have changed over time. Rika sounds like midwest emo with some post-rock influences. Meandering guitar lines are interrupted by explosive euphoria and die away in spheres of entwined harmonies. Think Mineral, think Appleseed Cast, think Sometree.

After playing a couple of shows, they recorded their first demo cd-r diy in may 2005, which is sold out by now. In september 2006 they did another diy recording session, finishing their s/t full length demo cd-r, which can be downloaded on last.fm.
Since then, Rika have played a good amount of shows in and around Austria.
