Riff Wood Releases ‘Butterfly In Black And White’

Riff Wood, a group of three friends from Davis County, Utah, has released its second album, ‘Butterfly In Black And White’. The album was produced by Rob Cavallo. Compared with ‘Tough Luck’, it was described as more developed and mature, with the group working on different chord progressions, time signatures and new subjects.

Carson Groves said Basket Case was the song that led all three members toward rock music. Riff Wood first toured outside Utah in 2025 and played its first concerts outside the United States earlier this year. Groves said the songs on the album concern things the members have experienced in their lives or observed in the world.

Russon cited Green Day, Radiohead and The Beatles among the album’s influences. Shredder said the drum work on the album was influenced by The Police, Van Halen, Tré Cool and Travis Barker. Riff Wood will perform a series of in-store acoustic shows in the United Kingdom next week.
