Our Mission
We’re here to start a riot- in a good way.
- Spotlight emerging talent alongside industry legends.
- Deliver honest, unfiltered coverage that highlights what fans and artists actually care about- the releases.
- Connect fans to the heart of the music world through interviews, reviews, and features that actually mean something.
What We Cover
Artist Features & Interviews: Conversations that go beyond the press release.
Album & Live Show Reviews: Honest takes from people who care deeply about the craft.
Scene Coverage: Festivals, tours, and the movements shaping the sounds of today.
Opinion Pieces: Thoughtful, fearless takes on trends, artistry, and the music industry itself.
Our Story
Riot Collective started as a spark: an idea that music journalism should feel alive, urgent, and connected to the people who love it most. What began as a small team of passionate fans and creatives has grown into a platform that thrives on energy, honesty, and a deep respect for artistry.
We’re not chasing trends. We’re documenting the moments that will matter years from now.
Why We’re Different
We’re front row, online, at the record stores, and out in the crowd. We talk to artists like humans, not headlines. Our coverage is built on the kind of passion you can’t fake and the kind of access you only get when you’re truly part of the scene.

“Thanks for checking out Riot Press! I started Riot Press Collective in 2025 to highlight my favorite areas of the scene. I’ve been active in the music journalism world since I was in high school, and have gotten the chance to write about and interview so many of my favorite artists. Riot Press is everything I love about the scene and the industry rolled into one- I hope you love it too.”
