20k Rio is the kind of band that makes you believe rock music still has gasoline to burn. Born in Los Angeles and forged in the chaos between stadium dreams and late-night dive-bar stages, their sound blends high-octane riffs, soaring melodies, and the kind of raw storytelling that sticks to your ribs.

At the front of the charge is vocalist/guitarist tommy lloyd, whose voice hits with a mix of grit and uplift — the soundtrack to running headfirst into your future. With producer Trev Lukather helping to steer the ship, 20k Rio delivers an explosive brand of alt-rock full of tension, triumph, heartbreak, and hope.

Early releases have earned comparisons to Kings of Leon, Royal Blood, and Muse — yet 20k Rio is carving a lane all their own. Their next chapter begins in 2025 with a new EP and a documentary capturing the band’s relentless climb. Buckle up — the altitude is rising, and this Rio is going way past 20k.
