Casual Riots

Casual Riots are an indie rock band with an electrifying sound that blends the gritty urgency of The Jam, the laid-back grooves of Mac DeMarco, and the dark post-punk edge of Joy Division, all laced with a soulful energy that’s unmistakably their own. Hailing from Belfast, the five-piece have quickly become a staple in the city's live music scene, with their raw, high-energy performances and infectious melodies.

The band has been making waves across Northern Ireland, headlining iconic venues like The Limelight and supporting powerhouse acts such as Warmduscher at legendary spots like Ulster Hall and Custom House Square. Their live shows are a force to be reckoned with, packing out crowds of up to 300 people and creating an atmosphere that’s impossible to ignore.

Drawing inspiration from a diverse range of influences, Casual Riots craft a sound that’s both nostalgic and fresh, tapping into the soul of indie rock while never shying away from experimentation with genres such as funk, drum and bass and jazz which will be displayed in their new upcoming singles. With a reputation for bringing vibrant energy to the stage, the band is now setting their sights on broader horizons.
