Ra Ra Riot: Not Dumb Music (00:46 )

Ra Ra Riot's music is more than just fun. They strive to bring something to the listener. It's hard to define what that something is but it's fun, vibrant, jubilant, celebratory and good.

Ra Ra Riot: Live And Learn (00:45 )

Music industry majors beware, your A+ average doesn't always carry-over into gigging and the business of music. Ra Ra Riot can tell ya.

Why do we still have the 2nd Amendment- right to bear arms? Oh yeah, to keep that savage tin can from invading our homes.

Ra Ra Riot: Twice The Vice (00:45 )

Some vices are kinda cute.  Alexandra's vice has to do with playing with her 'do.  Matt's has something to do with chocolate easter eggs. Which is more healthy for the body, we leave up to you.

Ra Ra Riot: Keep It Simple (00:28 )

Band members trading instruments isn't something that you'll find at a Ra Ra Riot show. They keep it simple and keep out the oboes.

Ra Ra Riot: Syracuse Saturation (00:26 )

Unfortunately, Ra Ra Riot's hometown of Syracuse, NY doesn't boast the largest music scene.  Luckily, New York is a HUGE state and well, it houses one of the greatest cities in the world. Go Rochester!

Ra Ra Riot: Superfriends Beware (00:31 )

If Alexandra and Matt had the superpowers they wished for, then they are well on their way to creating their own Justice Legion. We think they'd take Aquaman and Superman down with no problem AND have enough energy for a sax solo.
