Who is Brotherly Riffs?

The Heart of the Riff Brotherly Riffs wasn’t built in a boardroom; it was forged in the sweat-soaked basements, legendary clubs, and high-octane venues of the Philadelphia metro area and elsewhere. We exist to celebrate the grit and soul of the Delaware Valley’s rock and metal community. From the underground hardcore scene to the international titans shaking the foundations of the Philly arenas, we are here to document the volume that defines our city.
