The story of these three unique musicians started back when Spencer Riley Alfonso & Patrick Hill got their first gig opening for the Cold War Kids in Whittier, California. Encouraged by a conversation with the Indie giants after the performance, Spencer & Patrick formed what became Riley. Later meeting their drummer Jarred Coleman through a series of coincidences and inspired by the Tom Hanks film, That Thing You Do, Riley found a sound that blends Retro-Rock with Rhythm and Southern Californian Soul. Their latest musical installment, a 4 song EP entitled "For the Love," showcases an even wider range of indie musicality from laid back love diddies to straight forward rock n roll.

Riley's Buzz
"Riley’s youthful sound channels The Strokes, Weezer, and other beach rock overtones to create catchy hooks and confident harmonies that sound way more mature than expected from a couple of guys fresh out of high school."
-C.J. Casciotta (conversantlife.com)
"In a world of dramatic, teary-eyed indie artists, Riley injects "fun" back into music. Their debut album boasts a collection of songs that balance rockin' with groovin' we'd come to expect from bands like the Strokes or Kings of Leon."
-Rob Croft (Biola Radio)
