New Art Riot is an EP released in 1990 by Manic Street Preachers, and it was the first release from the band to feature the 'classic' four-piece line-up (of James Dean Bradfield, Nicky Wire, Richey James Edwards and Sean Moore).
New Art Riot sounds similar to the single "Motown Junk", with short, fast-paced rock 'n' roll songs; the influence of favourites such as The Clash is evident. The EP provides a musical template for what was to come afterwards, and although somewhat forgotten, sits neatly with the rest of the Manics' catalogue.
A live version of New Art Riot (titled "New Art Riot in E Minor") featured as a b-side on the The Holy Bible single Faster/P.C.P..
A promotional video was filmed for the track "Strip It Down", which was a straightforward film of the band performing against some mind/eye boggling computer graphics.
