Santa’s got a new favorite band, and they’re not on the “nice” list this year—meet Reindeer Riot, the rock ’n’ roll Christmas sensation that’s stomping its way into your holiday playlist. With their hoof-tapping beats, cheeky charm, and a backstory cooler than the North Pole, this band is here to add a little mischief to your mistletoe.
Reindeer Rebels Turned Rockers
The story begins with a few overly energetic reindeer who were this close to leading Santa’s sleigh. But let’s just say their vibe wasn’t exactly “silent night.” Too young, too rowdy, and a bit too loud for the job, they were benched. Thankfully, Santa’s no Grinch—spotting their musical spark, he sent them to a recording studio in Wrexham instead.
Under the guidance of songwriter, musician, and producer Michael Clorley-Jones, the reindeer traded reins for riffs and sleigh bells for electric guitars. “We couldn’t just let their talent go to waste,” says Michael. “Plus, it’s hard to say no to a reindeer with a mic in its hoof.”
Rockin’ for a Cause
Reindeer Riot isn’t your average holiday band. Sure, they’re here to make your December playlists sleigh, but they’re also on a mission to bring families together and give back to charities. Their music is designed to create new holiday memories, whether you’re decking the halls or dominating the karaoke machine at your office party.
“Let’s be real—we want people to have fun,” says Michael. “But if we can make a difference and spread some good vibes along the way, that’s what Christmas is all about.”
What’s Next? More Tunes, More Mischief
The band has a simple plan: release one killer Christmas track every December for the next five years. It’s like an advent calendar, but with fewer chocolates and way more bass. And while the music is their main gig, Michael dreams of animating the band to bring their personalities—and antlers—to life.
“We’re just getting started,” he teases. “Who knows? Maybe one day we’ll even hit the stage. Live reindeer show, anyone?”
