Band Bio

We are a group five-piece Hard Rock outfit with members in South Dakota, Nebraska, and Georgia. We are a loud, aggressive, in your face, rock band that praises loud amps, heavy riffs, and vintage gear. Bigger truly is always better in this band. We are currently with STB Records out of New York and have played many large rock/stoner rock/doom festivals throughout the country and most recently have become Orange Ambassadors. With two albums out in all formats and a third one on the way, we are looking to spread our roots out as far as they stretch, and are ready to be a force to be reckoned with in the heavy scene.

"Rifflord started out back in 2007 in the basement of a punk house where 8 people were living. We were all in punk/hardcore bands at the time, and began digging into the roots of heavy music with bands like Blue Cheer, Hawkwind, Deep Purple and of course Black Sabbath lighting the path for us. We soon began hunting down every vintage tube amp we could find to recreate that tone. It’s been 13 years since then, members have come and gone but the core remains the same: loud tube amps, heavy drums, and a loud hammond organ." - Wyatt Bartleett

"Being rural midwest boys we were raised with a lot of country and rebelled by listening to heavy/hard rock and metal. Bands and artists like T. Rex, MC5, Sabbath, Motorhead, Hawkwind, Judas Priest, ZZ Top, Robert Johnson, Mississippi Fred Mcdowell, Hank Williams, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson formed us. When naming the band, our options for names were Kilowatt or RIFFLORD. Thankfully we chose the latter." - Wyatt Bartlett
