Bio
Formed in March 2010, the band started to conquer their local circuit building a reputation for themselves as one of the hardest rocking bands around. After a line-up change in February 2011 the band embraced that reputation and started building on it, delivering energy, enthusiasm and rock n roll.
2011 was an eventful year for Riff X; seeing them start gaining nationwide recognition, touring through England and Scotland, winning the annual Bubbles battle of the bands and sharing a stage with Falling Red, Nightvision, Obsessive Compulsive, The Crave and the likes of Gallows and Funeral for a Friend at the Cockermouth Rock Festival. Their debut EP Bruises was received with high admiration, being described as the instrument to propel Riff X to national attention in a Rock the North magazine review.
The band are now geared up for 2012; with another new addition to the band, a new single and new video on the way, a fine-tuned live set, and theyre hitting the road hard gigging relentlessly, showing the world what rock n roll should be!
Watch out for Riff X, both on record and especially in a live environment. In their words, we pride ourselves on being a live band. We want to get our music out there, tour as much as possible and make as many friends and fans along the way, because its what we love to do.
In short, a driving beat, infectious riffs, melodic vocals and an unrivalled passion is what makes Riff X and theyre coming your way!
If you like your Rock catchy, heavy and passionate then Riff-X are your one stop shop for sure. Randy The Wicker Man Demerera, Deviant Magazine

You can definitely feel the potential: keep an eye on this lot and watch them grow. (Rock the North, November 2010)
You really have to see these guys live to know what they are all about. Unrivalled energy and performance ensues with their shows. A must-see for many rock music fans! (Sodium Music Publisher, 2011)
Some bands look to write classic, well RIFF-X seem to look towards writing epics, its one of the few bands Ive listened to, where I can actually feel the emotions. (Rock the North, June 2011)
Having caught this band live recently, they sure do rock and their EP is a very good introduction to the style of music RIFF-X has to offer. 8.5/10 (Dave, Ravenheart Music, 2011)
