Cascade Riot “Exit 55”

Cascade Riot “Exit 55”

Detroit, MI’s Cascade Riot (newly signed to PNWK Records) has released a video for the new single “EXIT 55”.

The single is the first new music from the band since the January release of the ‘Life In Venus’ EP, and will appear on the band’s forthcoming label debut full-length.

“Exit 55” showcases a new, heavier side while still retaining a level of familiarity. “The song is really just about being fed up with things and wanting to get away from it all.”, says frontman Ryan Failla. “We wanted to release it as the first single because it represents a side musically we haven’t really displayed before. With this and the other new material we’re working on, we’re really trying to expand on what Cascade Riot can be.” The song is available everywhere 7/30.

Cascade Riot was originally formed in 2015. After releasing their debut EP “Code Red” that same year, the band went on a 6 year hiatus before returning in 2022 with the single “Hypnotized”. They have been consistently churning out material ever since.

Consisting of Ryan Failla (Vocals/Guitar), Adam Brady (Bass), and Alex Brady (Drums), the members have a long history together that stretches back to when they were kids. Ryan and Adam first met in middle school and played together in various bands as teenagers, eventually recruiting Adam’s brother Alex as a drummer. Although they never made it out of the basement, the seeds of Cascade Riot were planted.

Delivering guitar driven tunes with a punky undercurrent and a penchant for melody, the band draws inspiration from rock music of nearly every era. Their music has been featured on “Chris DeMakes a Podcast” hosted by Chris DeMakes from Less Than Jake and “The Mike Herrera Podcast” hosted by Mike Herrera from MxPx and they have opened for such bands as Billy Talent and Belvedere.

After gaining buzz from their “Life on Venus” EP released in early 2024, the band realized they wanted to take things to the next level. They signed with PNWK Records and are currently in the process of recording their first full length album.
