Sioux Falls, SD
RIFFLORD is a band that defies all logic and its existence alone proves that raw determination and unwavering friendships can accomplish the improbable. With members residing in different parts of the United States and hundreds of miles away from each other they manage to create a sonic landscape as vast and diverse as the distance that exists between the members. Lugging around massive tube amps, oversized drums, and vintage Hammond organs, they exist as if they were thawed from some primordial cro-magnon frost of a forgotten time in rock and roll history.
Heavily influenced by the old American West, down tuned guitars, orchestrated keys and thunderously abrasive drums they leave a mark that both romanticizes the past while beating back against the mainstream.
RIFFLORD formed in 2007 in rural South Dakota and have released only two albums in their existence, (26 Mean and Heavy, 7 Cremation Ground) both becoming cult classics. In order to pick the name and direction of each album the band blindly draws a card from the Secret Dakini Oracle tarot deck. Truly leaving fate to determine the bands artistic trajectory.
