Detroit’s Cascade Riot are newly signed to PNWK Records and has released a video for their new single “EXIT 55”. The single is the first new music from the band since the January release of the Life In Venus EP, and will appear on the band’s forthcoming label debut full-length album.
Frontman Ryan Failla says about the song:
“Exit 55” showcases a new, heavier side while still retaining a level of familiarity. The song is really just about being fed up with things and wanting to get away from it all. We wanted to release it as the first single because it represents a side musically we haven’t really displayed before. With this and the other new material we’re working on, we’re really trying to expand on what Cascade Riot can be.
Cascade Riot was originally formed in 2015, but after releasing their debut EP Code Red that same year, the band went on a 6 year hiatus before returning in 2022 with the single “Hypnotized”. They have been consistently releasing songs since then.
The band draws inspiration from rock music of nearly every era. Their music has been featured on “Chris DeMakes a Podcast” hosted by Chris DeMakes from Less Than Jake and “The Mike Herrera Podcast” hosted by Mike Herrera from MxPx and they have opened for such bands as Billy Talent and Belvedere.

Upcoming Show:
August 3- Bay City, MI- Excellency Music Festival
