█ Hailing from the Newcastle music scene are a █
█ female fronted touring Hard Rock band by the name █
█ of Riff X. ItÆs a risk aiming to successfully █
█ combine influences of Classic Rock, Blues, Punk █
█ and Metal all at once, but this is what Riff X do █
█ û writing music they love and infecting those █
█ around them with it. █
█ █
█ 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 ænÆ 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 the likes of Gallows and Funeral for a Friend █
█ at the Cockermouth Rock Festival. Their debut EP █
█ æBruisesÆ was received with high admiration, being █
█ described as ôthe instrument to propel Riff X to █
█ national attentionö 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, a █
█ fine-tuned live set, and theyÆre hitting the road █
█ hard û gigging relentlessly, showing the world █
█ what rock nÆ roll should be! █
█ █
█ Watch out for Riff X, both on record and █
█ especially in a live environment. In their words, █
█ ôwe 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 itÆs what we love to do.ö █
█ █
█ In short, a driving beat, infectious riffs, █
█ melodic vocals and an unrivalled passion is what █
█ makes Riff X û and theyÆre coming your way! █
█ █
█ ôIf you like your Rock catchy, heavy and █
█ passionate then Riff-X are your one stop shop for █
█ sure.ö █
