John Bomma's voice has a Ronnie James Dio power & range melodic sound & Rod Rivera is a guitar virtuoso with a magical feel & touch alike Ritchie Blackmore/Michael Schenker. RIVERA BOMMA IS Melodic hard rock/metal with Latin Flamenco guitar grooves and melodies, You could say they sound a bit like Deep Purple, Dio, Rainbow, Helloween meets Strunz/Farah & Santana.
