1 Man Riot

Back to artist page

1 Man Riot is essentially Josh Taylor working alone. He writes, performs, and produces everything himself, which gives the project its name. The music tends to be a mix of indie rock with some folk and electronic touches, though it's mostly defined by that solitary process.

A few songs like "A Manner to Act" and "Dying Is Fine" have become reference points for listeners. He's put out several albums since 2013, including The Shadow and the Flame in 2015 and The Divide in 2021. The work is steady rather than flashy, built from one person's consistent effort over years.
