BIO

Riding With Killers (RWK) was founded in 2018 by Taylor Roberts, who currently serves as the newest guitarist of Taproot. Prior to forming RWK, Roberts achieved success in the hard rock genre through his former projects Cathercist and Wild Fire. During a tour in 2013, Roberts befriended Dave Coughlin, who was then the drummer for Taproot. Coughlin later became the 1st drummer for RWK. Roberts collaborated with Tim Krukowski (ex-Sponge), producer Matthew LaPlant, James Lascu (ex-Wilson), and Mark Papow (Lansbury Lane Studios) on the band’s single, which was mastered by LaPlant at Madtown Mix Studios. RWK’s current drummer is Jed Thibeault (Avalon Black, etc), while bass duties for live shows and music videos have been filled recently by James Lascu (New Monarch) and Damon Tate (For The Fallen Dreams).

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 singlet 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.
