Quick band history: Long Island New York's Riot was one of the leading proponents of American heavy metal between the late 70s and mid 80s (before they morphed into a power metal unit thereafter). Despite having a handful of strong to amazing releases during this initial period, the band didn't achieve the level of fame they so deserved. Take one listen to the golden pipes of Guy Speranza and the top notch song writing ... then shake your heads at what you (may have) missed.
Little known - but surely underrated. Don't hold back!!!
