Known for an energetic live show, Indie rock band Ra Ra Riot has had several favorable reviews from SPIN.com, who called the band formed at Syracuse University: “one of the best young bands we’ve heard in a really long time”. They went on to open for Art Brut and Bow Wow Wow in New York City, toured the UK twice on their own then returned, opened for the Editors, and have appeared several times at South by Southwest.
