Riff Wood Releases Second Album

Riff Wood has released its second album, Butterfly In Black And White. After first listening to Dookie, the group determined the type of music it wanted to make. The group said Basket Case was the song that directed its members toward rock music. The cover of Butterfly In Black And White was made by reworking a photograph taken by Groves of milk spilled before a group rehearsal. Riff Wood took its sound in new directions with Butterfly In Black And White. The two most impressive concerts the group recently saw were Green Day and Paul McCartney's Get Back tour.

Riff Wood first toured outside Utah in 2025. Before 2026, the group also performed outside the United States for the first time. The album's songs draw inspiration from Green Day, Radiohead and The Beatles. Rob Cavallo produced the album. On Butterfly In Black And White, Riff Wood explores finding hope even in situations where it appears that there is no hope left.
