The Riot Boots emerged in late 2018 from the quiet town of Toten, Norway, originally sparked as a jam project between friends with the simple aim of playing a few local gigs to help cover rent. But what began casually soon snowballed—filling most weekends throughout 2019 and even landing an unexpected spot on the regional TV station, TV Øst. Their debut single, “Goldmine,” came to life in early 2019.
The band’s lineup features:
Espen Rogne – Guitars & Vocals
Simen Strand – Drums
Anders Halsan Engum – Bass & Vocals
Their song Toxic Hollywood features killer riffs and killer solo parts, moody vocals (the chorus will get stuck in your head), and a solid rhythm section. A very cool one, enjoyable from start to finish with a good production as well. Give it a go by clicking on the YouTube player above, and remember to follow The Riot Boots on social media as well.
