Born of the expansive suburbs of Knoxville TN Skytown Riot has become a new force in the area riding the success of an interesting combination of inspirations and styles. Aptly referred to as Euromerican Rock the band conveys messages of self-reliance love greed freedom and the illusion of control. It's not so rare this day in age to find a band full of multi-instrumentalists like those in Skytown Riot. It is decidedly uncommon however to find a group that creates consistently thematic and often epic music with all members equally contributing to the writing process. Built upon longstanding friendships this creative approach lends itself to a perceivably honest instantly organic and ever-evolving sound. A passion for creative expression on all levels drives this enigmatic group of young East Tennesseans to explore engaging lyrics and deliver heartfelt melodies over a thunderous rhythm section. In 2010 Skytown Riot had the good fortune of winning the WNFZ (94.3 The X) Battle of the Bands which led the group to a slew of opening slots for bands such as Finger Eleven Filter 10 Years New Medicine SOiL Halestorm and Nonpoint.
