Armchair Riot

Armchair Riot is a powerhouse rock band emerging from the vibrant music scene of Western Australia. Band members Glenn Breslin (singer, guitarist), Paul Howard (drums) and Ian Thomson (bass) come with a formidable history in the music world. They have developed a dark sonic cocktail that is several toxic shots of Queens of the Stone Age, Nirvana and Sonic Youth mixed with a filthy twist of Nick Cave and Grant Lee Buffalo. Fusing raw energy with melodic grit, their sound draws from classic punk rock roots while pushing into modern sonic territory.

 

Since forming in the early 2020s, the band has built a reputation for electrifying live performances and emotionally charged songwriting. Their music explores themes of rebellion, resilience, and the complexities of modern life, resonating deeply with a growing fanbase.

​

The band’s coming album, currently being recorded at the renowned Poons Head Studio, showcases their evolution with bold production and a refined yet ferocious sound. Each member brings a distinct musical voice, creating a tight, dynamic chemistry that fuels their creative process. Armchair Riot’s commitment to authenticity have earned them airplay on local and national radios and features on major streaming playlists. Their relentless drive and connection with fans continue to set them apart in the Australian rock landscape.

​

With a new record on the horizon and a string of live dates ahead, Armchair Riot is poised to make a lasting impact both at home and beyond.
