about
Riot Like Words was a post-hardcore band from Austin, Texas, United States. Bio from their Myspace: "Starting out playing only local shows, Riot Like Words gained a large fan base in their hometown of Austin, Texas. Attaining popularity in the live music capital of the world was not easy, and proved that they had something special in their music to make them stick out above the hundreds of other local bands. The band brought a live show to the table that was filled with an amazing energy, complete with guitarists doing black flips without missing a note. This was something Austinites were not used to seeing at the typical local shows downtown. Stepping out above the others with a melodic post-hardcore genre put RLW in a field that no other Austin based band had touched, and that named them one of AustinPunkRock.org's number 1 bands. With the release of their first EP "When All Else Fails," Riot Like Words was ready to leave the local scene and hit the road. In December of 2004, the band booked their first tour. Staying mostly in Texas, they embarked on an 11 day tour that left fans in other cities begging for them to return. The success of this tour proved that the band not only had amazing musical abilities, but were also familiar with the business aspect of the industry. This tour spread their album all over Texas and surrounding states, giving them the exposure they needed to take them to the next level. But RLW didn't stop there.
