In 1736, London's community of ranting soaks broke down the gates of Gordon's Gin Factory and drank the place dry; the streets of London were literally flowing with gin for three days straight.

Named after the longest and hardest drinking session in living memory, The Gin Riots are a disparate bunch of boys who came together make music to get drunk to.

Originally formed in Bristol as an acoustic folk duo, Cillian Logue and Guy Stevenson eventually found their true calling and transitioned to a more punk sound with the help of bassist Tim Burton and drummer Jack McGruer.

The Gin Riots have gigged hard on the London scene, from the back rooms of dingy dives to glam club nights in the city centre. The band has a strong local support base, enhanced to no end by the infamous Gin Palace Parties they host across South London.
