On stage vibe
Riot Street Rebels thrive on momentum and crowd connection. Sets are fast-paced with minimal downtime, designed to keep energy levels high and the audience fully engaged. The atmosphere is inclusive, playful, and built around the shared joy of live music.
The band
Riot Street Rebels came together after Rocco spent over a year looking for the right people to build the band with. With his massive back catalogue of songs that have left their mark, he’s ready to unleash even more killer tracks straight from his forward songbook.
Rather than rushing into a new band, he wanted musicians who were just as passionate about practicing, gigging, and messing around with new ideas as he was.
That search led him to Sam and Ash. Both studied music at university, and Sam is also a high-school music teacher. All three eat, sleep, and breathe music, spending their time writing, rehearsing, gigging, and constantly refining their sound.
Bands we love loads and loads
Riot Street Rebels draw inspiration from the fun, melodic side of punk and power-pop. Think energy, hooks, and songs that make you want to move:
Green Day
Ramones
Buzzcocks
The Go-Go’s
How the songs get made
The band rehearse weekly and write collaboratively, developing songs both in the rehearsal room and in Rocco’s home recording studio. This setup lets them capture ideas quickly, experiment freely, and refine songs before taking them to the stage.
With a strong catalogue of original material already being played live, Riot Street Rebels are preparing to enter the studio in the coming months to record their debut EP.

Who to contact
… me, Lizzy, promotor in progress, admin and sarnie maker
I’m not a music industry expert — I’m Rocco’s wife, and I’ve willingly signed up to help keep Riot Street Rebels moving in the right direction.
I deal with gig enquiries, organisation, and social media, plus all the unglamorous but essential stuff like packing sarnies for long drives, figuring out where to park, picking up 83 year old Maurice – our merch boy and making sure everyone else turns up where they’re meant to be.
I’m friendly, responsive, and very invested in doing things properly. If you’re booking the band, writing about them, or need photos, videos, or info, I’m your main point of contact and I’ll make sure nothing falls through the cracks.
