Gorilla Riot are a 4-piece dirty rock n’ roll blues machine from Manchester, England. Equally at home acoustically or electrically they use a dual-prong guitar attack with multi-part vocal harmonies; they play raucous blues-based rock, combining elements of grunge, stoner, and country to create a full-on high energy experience.

Mainman, Arjun Bhishma, surrounded himself with the best talent in Manchester to form Gorilla Riot. Arjun, is joined by Charly T. (guitars & vocals), Deggy (bass), and Matt Talbot on skins and Luci Vee on backing vocals.

They continue to tour extensively across the UK, Spain and France, including Planet Rock Roadstars.


Gorilla Riot have featured on two Official Top 10 albums in the UK.
