Night Riots Debut At Number 17 On Billboard Heatseekers Chart For New EP Howl

After climbing their way to No. 5 on SiriusXM Alt Nation's Alt 18 Countdown with single "Contagious," and debuting at No.17 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart for their EP "Howl" (released Jan. 20^th via Sumerian Records), Night Riots have released an eerie vignette for new song, "Break" - today on BULLETT Magazine. Watch the vignette, here: http://bit.ly/BullettBreak.

About the new vignette for "Break," Night Riots frontman Travis Hawley explains, "'Break' conjures images of timeless youthful love." He continues, "We represented this idea by using antique film cuts of lovers kissing. At one point these clips were considered risqué and audacious. But looking back on them from our modern perspective, they seem so romantic in their confident and daring innocence."

With praise pouring in from the likes of Billboard, Earmilk, MTV, FUSE, Huffington Post, KROQ, All Things Go, NYLON, AV Club and Filter, and sharing recent bills with bands including Cage The Elephant, Walk The Moon, Meg Myers, OK Go, K.Flay, Step Rockets, The Mowgli's, Wild Cub and Youngblood Hawk, NIGHT RIOTS is setting the alternative underworld ablaze as swift and smartly as their brooding, melody rich and timeless songs have already endeared them to critics. The Southern California based band has a unique melodic sensibility - delivering transcendent pop music that is both modern and timeless; as well as both sinister and romantic, with the downbeat flare of new wave, '80s movie soundtracks. 

Produced by Eric Palmquist (Bad Suns, Trash Talk, Waaves, Mars), "Howl" was released on January 20^th via Sumerian Records. Stream "Howl" in its entirety over on EARMILK  and Spotify. Purchase the EP on iTunes here: http://bit.ly/1wGx0NT.
