A I Riot

On September 19th, 2011, fellow musicians and friends Ilona Moon and Anthony A. began what would become weeks of participation in the social revolutionary movement Occupy Wall Street in Zuccotti Park. Soon after their time there, the duo decided it was time to start a rock band that incorporated some of the aspects of the protest movement’s ideals with spiritual awareness blended together. After a few years of trying different lineups, the two hooked up with guitarist Christian Buckley and drummer Emerson Williams in the summer of 2014 and formed A.I. Riot. The band’s music would serve as a form of protest against what they saw as the enslavement of mankind through a variety of tactics. A.I. Riot believes in the godliness and potential of all human beings, awakened or still asleep in this reality. A.I. Riot, music for an awakening consciousness.
