The Riff Report Playlist

Welcome to The Riff Report Playlist – your regularly updated soundtrack of massive riffs, new discoveries, old favourites and songs we simply cannot stop playing. 🎧🎸🔥🤘

This is where we bring together music from across the rock, metal and alternative world, creating playlists packed with everything from legendary bands and festival headliners to independent artists making noise from rehearsal rooms and grassroots venues.

Expect new singles, album highlights, festival discoveries, upcoming tour favourites, forgotten classics and tracks from bands we think deserve considerably more attention.

Supporting grassroots, unsigned and independent musicians is at the heart of The Riff Report, so our playlists aren't simply about filling them with the biggest names.

We want you to discover something.

Maybe it'll be a Welsh band you've never encountered before. 🐉

Maybe it'll be a new metal track that immediately gets added to your gym playlist.

Or perhaps we'll remind you of an absolute classic you haven't blasted through the speakers in years.

From hard rock and heavy metal to punk, alternative, metalcore, progressive, death metal and everything lurking between, if it makes us reach for the volume control, there's a good chance it'll appear.

So grab your headphones, connect the speakers and hit play.

And remember – shuffle is optional, turning it up isn't.

New music. Classic riffs. Grassroots discoveries.

Welcome to The Riff Report Playlist – your soundtrack just got considerably louder. 🎧🎸🐉🔥🤘
