The Rebel Riot

The Rebel Riot are a punk rock band hailing from Yangon, Myanmar. Formed in 2007 during a time of intense political repression, they quickly became a voice for the voiceless, using their music to speak out against injustice and inspire hope. Known for their high-energy performances and politically charged lyrics, they've risked their safety to advocate for human rights and democratic reform in their country. They sing in both Burmese and English, reaching a broad audience with their message of resistance and unity.

Over the years, The Rebel Riot have released several albums and EPs, including their self-titled album and tracks like "No Place to Live" and "Bella Ciao," a reworking of the Italian protest song. They've toured internationally, bringing their powerful message to audiences around the world and raising awareness about the struggles faced by the people of Myanmar. Beyond their music, the band members are actively involved in community organizing and social movements, demonstrating their commitment to creating positive change.
