WHEN THEY RIOT to release 'SMILE'

When They Riot are an explosive 3-piece powerhouse from Leeds, UK. This formidable band unapologetically channel raw, unfiltered energy with and an insatiable love for electrifying, face-crunching guitars. By fusing 90’s grunge with 00’s alt-rock, and sprinkling a touch of 80’s boogie rock, they have established themselves as a mainstay in the alternative music scene.

"Smile is the latest anthem of grit and perseverance from When They Riot. Whilst the song attests to a lingering apathy, there is a humble undertone that demands honesty in order to succeed. 'Smile' is a universal symbol of happiness, but it is also a device used by those who are struggling to mask their discontent. Here, the band urges that unless you can be honest with yourself, you will endure a life of falsehood and never actually reach the goals you've worked so hard to achieve. A song of dynamism and hope that compliments as the final single from the 'Open Season' EP".
