While Riding with Killers may be a new name on the rock scene, the members of the Detroit trio have seen more stages and logged more hours in the studio than most could imagine. Taylor Roberts, front man and mastermind of RWK, (formerly of Cathercist / Wild Fire), formed a friendship with ex-taproot drummer

Dave Coughlin in 2013 while on tour together. Dave was playing drums for Nu Metal giants, Taproot, with Taylor’s band, Cathercist opening. The pair instantly hit it off on the road. Years later, after many talks of playing and writing music together, the idea finally gained life after Roberts left his band and home on the Gulf Coast, moving north in the pursuit of focusing more on music.

Dave and Taylor began writing and recording music at the end of 2018 and would spend the next few years writing songs with the help of Tim Krukowski (formerly of Sponge), and recording with Taylor’s long time friend and producer Matthew LaPlant. James Lascu, (formerly of Wilson) began to write and record with the two at the end of 2020. The project has now begun to build into something more serious, and their latest single “Hostility” drops on 3/21 via streaming services.
