Described as "arithmetic rock arrangements with perfect pop vocals" by Phoenix NewTimes, Riot For Romance is an award-winning high-energy pop rock band from Phoenix, AZ.  RIOT entertains their fans through their use of dynamic melodies over catchy rock-riffs that dare you ignore the fun, yet powerfully impressive live show.

RIOT’s story technically began in late 2004 as a side project called Ember, but quickly turned into something that caught major interest from labels and venues under the name This Daily Summer.  The band was originally formed by front man Jeff Gilbert and bassist Jonathan Kingsley, later adding drummer Danny Saba and Rocky Searan on keyboards.  Now RIOT prides themselves on their reputation of "bringing 110% percent to its fans every night", the infectiously catchy songs, selling out venues, and sharing the stage with A-level major label artists.

Along with airplay of early hits like 'Falling For You' and 'Sooner Or Later', the band received praise for its debut EP "The Break" which included tracks 'My Favorite' and 'The Break (Hey Girl)'.  And later, RIOT released its 2nd EP "Siren Sounds", which included 'Chance For Something Better' and '10 Seconds'.
