Night Riots are a five-piece from San Luis Obispo, California, who landed on Sumerian Records and brought a moody, dance-floor-ready streak to modern alternative rock. Travis Hawley does the singing, Nick Fotinakes and Matt DePauw split the guitars, Mikel van Kranenburg plays bass and Rico Rodriguez holds down the drums.
The Howl EP in 2015 carried "Contagious", a slick, shadowy rocker built around Hawley's brooding croon, and the full-length Love Gloom followed in 2016 with "Nothing Personal". The album title says plenty about the mood: big, glossy hooks wrapped in black velvet, heartache you can still move to.
