The Story So Far
Riding With Killers (RWK) is a Detroit-based trio with a fresh and unique blend of alt, rock, and metal. Led by Taylor Roberts, guitarist of Taproot, RWK’s sound is a fusion of their past experiences fronting and writing for multiple groups, including Wild Fire and Cathercist. The band delivers a fiery mix of 90’s alt-rock, industrial, and nu-metal, balanced with infectious choruses and memorable guitar riffs. Produced by Matthew Laplant, the album features singles like “DNA,” “Novelty,” and “Hostility.”
Taylor Roberts, also the guitarist of Taproot, formed Riding With Killers (RWK) in 2018 in the ashes of his former projects Cathercist and Wild Fire, both of which had success in the hard rock genre over the years. Roberts befriended RWK’s 1st drummer, Dave Coughlin, on tour in 2013, when Coughlin was the drummer of Taproot. The two linked up for co-writing with friends Tim Krukowski (ex-Sponge), producer Matthew LaPlant, and James Lascu (ex-Wilson). Matthew LaPlant mastered the single at Madtown Mix Studios, and the band is rounded out by their newest drummer, Jed Thibeault (Avalon Black, etc) and bassist Kris Kress (Avalon Black, etc). With their past successes and the talent of their current lineup, Riding With Killers is poised to make a significant impact in the alt/metal music scene.
