R.I.O.T.

About Me

R.I.O.T was created in the beginning of 2006. 3 out of 4 members of Mind Conspiracy created a band for a music competition, the band was called RIOT. We created a song and played it and we were stuck. Our music blew our minds off and we wanted to continue. We realized that Mind Conspiracy's time was up since there was no spark left. We had another gig or two with R.I.O.T. until it was time to record our first demo. "Dead by natural causes" was recorded in just one day. Pontus had a broken finger, and Jakob recorded the vocals at 2 am. A broken finger and too little time just wouldn't stop us from rocking though, so we managed to record 4 songs on just that one day.
We had a couple of shows, and wrote some more songs. In autumn 2006, we went to "Hulebäcksstudion", which is a studio at the gymnasium we attended to. We recorded the next, and our second, album "We are R.I.O.T.". This was also the time when we decided to change from RIOT to R.I.O.T.We are R.I.O.T. and we play hard rock
Now also avaible on Lastfm
