Rebel Riot

Rebel Riot is a hard and heavy band from Riga, Latvia. A four-piece rock ‘n’ rolling brigade with main influences of the 60’s and 80’s classic rock and metal styles. Active since 2007. Their third and most recent studio album ‘The Good, The Bad And The Heavy’, released in November 2016, was well received locally and abroad. In Latvian music awards it was nominated among the top 5 Latvian rock/metal records in 2016. Late 2017 Rebel Riot embarked on a 2 week tour through Central and Eastern European countries. Another European tour was held in May 2019. It all started back in high school when two classmates decided to form a hard rock band. Having a rich and good taste in music, Rebel Riot now is one of the few bands that still keep the true rock spirit alive in their neighbourhood. Sharp and punchy vocals, elaborate guitar work backed by female drumming and a few stage tricks are their trademark. Rebel Riot have played hundreds of shows in clubs and festivals around the Baltic states. Shows have been performed also in Finland, Belarus, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Hungary and Germany. One of the most notable performances was opening a show for the German heavy metal pioneers Accept in Riga, 2012.
