For Immediate Release
Washington, DC – DC-based alt-rock trio RenRiot are set to make their mark with their highly anticipated debut single, ‘Anatomy of a Flower’, dropping Friday, February 6th, 2026, across all streaming platforms. With an ambient build up into their established nostalgic alt-rock sound at the chorus, ‘Anatomy of a Flower’ delivers a full body experience from the resonant guitar to the catchy chorus.
“Anatomy of a Flower” serves as a defining statement for RenRiot, marking the first release fully written and composed by the band as a collective rather than by frontperson Ren Wright alone. “A majority of the lyrics were written by Solana (Drums) years ago as a rap,” says Wright. “Transforming that work into this song is such a clear reflection of what we can create together.This is also why it felt really important to let Solana’s drumming shine here as this song truly wouldn’t exist without them.”
Recorded at Stages Music Arts by award-winning sound engineer, Evan Kornblum (Dru Hill, Mýa, Ice Cube), ‘Anatomy of a Flower’ showcases the genre-bending side of the band, contrasting their typically grungier sound. Kornblum also appears on the track, contributing a portion of the second guitar part during the second chorus. RenRiot has made their debut in the DC rock scene with their high-energy gigs and their unapologetic presence as black, queer rock-lovers. With “Anatomy of a Flower,” the band offers a raw yet expansive introduction that is expected to resonate deeply with fans of emo and alt-rock alike.
