[MUSIC INTERVIEW] RIFF RAIDERS – Welcome To Mars Interview

Blending modern hard rock with big hooks, sharp riffs and an unmistakable live energy, Riff Raiders have quietly built a strong reputation on the Australian scene since forming in 2017. Their explosive live shows and relentless early run of gigs saw them shortlisted for Best Punk / Rock Act at the 2021 Music Victoria Awards, while support slots alongside acts including D-A-D, Baby Animals, The Poor and The Lazys helped cement them as one of Melbourne’s most dependable live bands.

Welcome To Mars features 11 tracks from almost every rock flavour. From the darker depths of Broken Halo to the punchy title track, swampy rock of Climbing the Walls, three-part power pop smoker, Feels Like Something, then on to touch the sides of psychedelic grunge with Sound Mirror, you’ll have a new favourite song every time you spin it.
