Welcome to the website of Black Bottle Riot, a brand new rockband from Nijmegen, The Netherlands. Online since Saturday February 23rd 2008.
'BBR' consists of four balls-to-the-wall rockers that have a common goal: to bring back Rock 'N' Roll as it was meant to be. This doesn't mean that the boys live in the past, but their music certainly has a rootsy feel. The boys have been rockin' together in The Jetsams for a while, but decided to take things more seriously and - among other things - choose an other name.
Black Bottle Riot draws inspiration from the swamps of the Southern states of America, which can be traced in the somewhat bluesy feel. On the other hand, there's a punky, energetic DIY-attitude that fires things up. It's in your face and that's where it stays. A friend described Black Bottle Riot as a mix of Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Ramones - which we celebrated with a beer.
On this fancy website, there's enough to keep you busy for a while. The multimediacenter will be updated quite frequently, so make sure to check back every now and then. Of course we have a most rockin' MySpace website, too. Get ready for some action!
Rockin' regards, BBR
p.s. Enjoy this version of "In The Balance", live at Sneeuwpop Fest 2009:
