Red Tape Riot
Red Tape Riot is an original band that offers a unique brand of hard working/well thought out Indie rock from Detroit, Michigan. Red Tape Riot was formed at the beginning of 2012 as a four piece Indie band. The official launch was in July 2012.
Its thick, layered musical arrangements, driven guitars and gritty musical performances led by two lead vocalists have powered this band to success in a cut throat, blue collar music town. RTR has a sound that is unlike any other band on the market today, yet main-stream enough to capture an audience on your local dial. They peaked at #25 in the world among indie artists on Reverbnation.com
