2007 was a busy year for the band, recording a video for the track “Confusion Parade” as well as a session for XFM Scotland which was aired on 7 July.

PRESS REVIEWS OF “THE WELL DRESSED THIEF”

“One of the Best Scots Rock Debuts of the Year!” - Jim Gellatly, XFM Scotland, April 2007

“RIESER have created a fantastic, many faceted jewel of an album that refuses to be pigeonholed. With the UK music scene turning into groups from New Rave to Grime it's a fresh approach to take from many pools but create something unique to yourself. This band have the musical armoury and the dedication as their song Rock Star shouts: "I wanna be a rock star". Let's hope a record label gives them their dream.”
Rick Fulton, Daily Record, June 2007

“While most of their contemporaries are peddling bludgeoning rock/metal, or attempting to be the next Arctic Monkeys, Rieser are just a damn good guitar band with some great songs. And to think Rieser are unsigned. A sad indictment of the times.” 4/5. - Pete Whalley, ‘Get Ready To Rock’, June 2007

“This is not only an album of good music, it is also an album of hearing people enjoy themselves. If they can manage to produce such quality without any label support imagine what they could do if they ever got signed?”
Colin Gazeley, Podcast User Magazine Issue 17, May 2007

Band Location – Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom.
