About Riff & Respawn
Riff & Respawn is an independent heavy music and gaming publication founded by Cari Murphy.
It sits in the overlap between metal, gaming and accessibility — with interviews, features, opinion pieces and the Riff & Respawn podcast.
I’m interested in the people behind the music as much as the music itself: what they play, what shaped them, how they create, and the stuff that rarely comes up in a standard press interview.
Accessibility is a big part of Riff & Respawn too. I want to talk honestly about what it’s like trying to enjoy music, gaming and live events when the world isn’t always designed with disabled people in mind.
