The Riots formed in 2006, and for twenty years this four piece indie rock band has been lighting up dance floors across the country with energetic, party filled anthems that refuse to let you stand still. What started as mates jamming in a garage has grown into two decades of sweat-soaked gigs, sing-along choruses, and crowds that leave hoarse and happy.
We’re a family band in the truest sense. Brothers, cousins, and a brother-in-law, bound together by blood, bad jokes on long drives, and a shared obsession with making rooms move. That chemistry isn’t something you can fake. When we hit the stage, you can feel it. Four people who’ve been winding each other up and making music together for most of their lives.
Our sound pulls from the best bits of indie rock. Big hooks, driving rhythms, and melodies that stick in your head for days. We write songs for Saturday nights, for festival fields, for those moments when the whole crowd locks in and the barrier between band and audience disappears completely.
