The Bowery Riots

About Me

The Bowery Riots are a New York City based rock band formed in 2008. The groups lineup was essentially born out of popular Rock n Roll bar St Jeromes, where most band members met for the first time.Taking their name from the turn of the century gang the Bowery Boys, and the infamous mid 19th century Astor Place  Riot, their sound is based on an appreciation for the British Invasion, late 60's soul, and seminal punk bands like the Clash who played with passion and wrote with a social conscious.
