Riley and the Roxies: Tele

With an affinity for classic garage rock bands and solo acts like Prince, Riley and the Roxies became a staple on the L.A. indie rock scene via several timely syncs on TV/Film. Inspired by the sonics of the 1970’s - Led Zeppelin’s III, Springsteen’s The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle, and Elvis Costello’s My Aim is True - Spencer Riley Alfonso developed a vocally focused rock project with modern nods to bands like Phoenix, The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys and other post 2000 indie-rock staples.

While in film school, Alfonso directed and produced several music videos for his second EP: OceanGold. The videos caught the attention of Nic Carfa of Musicbed who quickly signed Riley and the Roxies, as well as introduced Alfonso to LA’s premier sync agency: Secret Road (The Civil Wars, Leagues, Ingrid Michaelson).


In 2019 Riley and the Roxies released his debut album: Raw Honey. From his loft in Boyle Heights, Alfonso incorporated newly written tracks as well as previously unreleased material from 2014-2019. The track “Snakes” picked up momentum on Spotify when Chris Bumstead featured the song via his platform. With the momentum of his first LP, Alfonso settled into writing the follow up, Lasso.

Fuzzy by The Margots

"Fuzzy" started out as a rock 'n roll, sun's out, windows down, volume's up, and you don't care where you're headed kind of beat from Brandon Burr. Brandon passed the beat along to Spencer Riley Alfonso where this light hearted rock instrumental took on an additional layer with the lyrics. Inspired by memoirs of soldiers, rockstars, and the death of the 1960's, "Fuzzy" paints a mirage of words conjuring pictures of the American dream juxtaposed with the dissapointing reality of life. There is no "clear-headed" revelations in lyrics or the music, just a fuzzy idea of what's it like to see a dream die in front of you.
