Black Bottle Riot

In the organizer's words:

This powerful rock music brings every stage to a boil
In the fifteen years of their existence, the band has won the hearts of audiences and music critics alike. With their new album That's Amore, they show that they are capable of renewing and evolving without forgetting their roots in blues and rock 'n' roll.

The deeply felt love of making music together is what keeps Black Bottle Riot alive. Over the years, their mutual bond and craftsmanship have only grown stronger. Whether on stage or in the studio, they deliver their soulful rock music confidently and unapologetically. That's Amore shows them getting to the core of what they stand for and what they are capable of, with quality always coming first.

Thanks to the self-imposed limitations, the band has managed to capture the live feel on this record. No overdubs, no ironing out of "happy accidents", but live recordings in the studio. On this album, Black Bottle Riot tread a path that touches on all possible sources of inspiration, from the Tex-Mex rock of Los Lobos to the garage rock of the Hellacopters. A mature album with a positive message, full of "good time rock 'n' roll music."

From big stages at festivals such as Rockin' Park, Zwarte Cross, Eurosonic Noorderslag and Down The Rabbit Hole to hot, sweaty blues clubs: Black Bottle Riot has made a name for itself as a live band both in the Netherlands and abroad. They have played with renowned artists such as Pearl Jam, The Black Keys, The War On Drugs, Black Stone Cherry, Rival Sons and Ryan Adams and have opened for ZZ Top.

Black Bottle Riot is a band for everyone who loves the hard, bluesy rock of bands like Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers and Thin Lizzy.
