Long before independently generating over 100 million-plus streams, winning The Grammys’ “Rock The Mic Competition,” attracting acclaim from OnesToWatch, BBC Radio 1, KCRW, and more, identical twins Benjamin and Alexander Moore endured a novel-worthy trip.
It took them from their native New Mexico through homelessness and hardship in Los Angeles, where they squatted illegally in the back of an old Korean church for a year and a half. Oliver Riot recorded their first EP, Hallucinate, and second EP, Neurosis, in the back of the very church where they squatted. The result struck a chord as their tracks racked up millions of streams, landing TV syncs across networks such as Netflix, CBS, E! Network, and others.
Oliver Riot’s next chapter unfolds through songs that highlight the mental struggles both brothers face on a daily basis with Pure O OCD.
