About Us

We are RIFFAGE, an Amsterdam-based grunge/alternative rock band formed in the summer of 2023. As our name suggests, we’re all about delivering pure, unfiltered, guitar-driven energy! Accompanied by alternating rhythmic parts and compelling melodies, our rebellious sound grabs you and won’t let go. Drawing inspiration from bands like Alice in Chains, Queens of the Stone Age, Porcupine Tree, Kyuss, and the darker corners of alternative rock, RIFFAGE thrives on creating music that’s as gritty as it is captivating. We take pride in crafting a sound that’s both familiar and unpredictable.

Billy studied at the Herman Brood Academy and has also been in various bands and gained a lot of experience in writing and performing. His drumming style is hard and full of energy, sometimes we wonder whether the drumkit will still be intact after a show. Roy, our frontman and fresh-faced vocal coach, delivers every line with the soul and intensity of a true rock disciple. Lead guitarist Roel, having played with FoulSons and Dearmom, brings his years of experience and passion to push RIFFAGE’s sound forward. Ryan has always been busy producing and writing music at home, in addition to all the violence he put in his guitar playing, he also made electronic music like drum ’n bass and techno.

We can not wait to share our music with you! Stay tuned for new releases and tour dates.
