The Rebel Riot

Formed amidst the fervor of Myanmar’s Saffron Revolution in 2007, The Rebel Riot emerged as a defiant voice against oppression and corruption. Hailing from Yangon’s vibrant punk scene, this band of six sought refuge in underground gigs, using music as a conduit for their message of freedom and dissent.

Despite lineup changes over the years, The Rebel Riot’s core values have remained steadfast. With EPs like “Puppet Society” and “Fuck Religious Rules,” they’ve taken their rebellion beyond Myanmar’s borders, touring Indonesia and gracing stages at Libertad Fest.

Drawing inspiration from the raw energy of punk, The Rebel Riot infuse their music with blistering beats, distorted guitars, and politically charged lyrics, reflecting the nation’s social and political struggles. Their songs serve as rallying cries, urging listeners to challenge authority and fight for justice.

In a world of conformity, The Rebel Riot boldly stand out, pushing the boundaries of artistic expression with their unapologetic spirit. From electrifying performances at mainstream festivals like Jai Thep to intimate shows in underground venues, they’ve captivated audiences with their raw passion and dynamic stage presence.

Their influence extends far beyond music, inspiring a new generation of activists and musicians to embrace rebellion and stand up for their beliefs. Through their unwavering commitment to their profession, The Rebel Riot continue to shape the punk landscape in Myanmar and beyond, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts and minds of all who dare to listen.
