Riff Raiders

Riff Raiders deliver modern hard rock with an alternative edge—driven by big riffs, soaring vocals, and cinematic energy. Blending the punch of active rock with melodic depth, their sound is built for loud stages and repeat spins that performs for you, not at you. Raised on a balanced diet of crunchy guitars, tangy riffs and spicy hooks, Riff Raiders have simmered, sauteed and seared their unique flavour of rock’n’roll since 2017. Breaking onto the rock scene with debut album, Live Like You Mean It, winning fans and melting faces with their renowned explosive live shows, Riff Raiders were shortlisted for the Best Rock / Punk Act in the Music Victoria Awards 2021. Their second album, Rock and Roll Daydream, was released in 2020, just as the world stayed home and their first headline tour was halted midway. Their solid reputation for incredible live performances has grown after 100 live shows in the earlier days, including key support slots with D-A-D, Baby Animals, The Poor, Palace of the King & The Lazys. In 2026 their much anticipated new Welcome To Mars album was released on 7 June. The latest single Sound Mirror, released 23 July 2026 and accompanying music video draws inspiration from the British coastal sound mirrors of the 1920s, experimental concrete structures designed to detect enemy aircraft by sound before radar. The story is set in the 1930s and imagines an alternate reality in which the sound mirrors are an active line of defence against the enemy.
