biographical info

We are a fuzz pop band from Saint John, New Brunswick. The band known today as "Riot River" has been playing shows regularly in our Hometown since summer 2008.  We have been regarded as "Power pop-fizz fueled young garage lions" causing non-dancing people to break into a groove on the spot. We recorded an EP during the summer of 2009 with Grant Heckman and Dan Downes called Riot Reverb. During the first couple months of 2010 we have played shows frequently with great other local bands such as December Fall Out , The Telecast and Kinsmen. We are working on our debut LP "Happy Like A Flower". With our determination to get people's groove on and our passion for music , we hope to make a name for ourselves in the Canadian music scene.
