Artist History Hailing from the suburbs of Stockholm, Sweden, REVOLUTION RIOT is a combo, which combines the flare of the ’80s with the attack and rawness of the punk-era. It all started back in 1997 when guitarist/vocalist Glitz and bass player Sleazy Texas decided that they wanted to form a group which played the kind of music they grew up with and loved. The first line-up of the band didn’t last long and it wasn’t until they were joined by drummer Tom-E that their ideas started to develop in the intended direction. Their first studio session together, in April 1998, was recording a song for a Motorhead-tribute. They decided to do the song “Poison” and the result came out quite well. In July of that same year their first demo, “It’s not a trend, it’s a lifestyle”, was recorded. Early 1999 saw the addition of one more guitar player, the dreadlocked Skinny, and the band began to perform live on a regular basis. The gigs earned the band a reputation as one of the best live acts around the Stockholm area In September 1999, Sleazy decided to quit and the search for a new bass player began, although Sleazy stayed to do the remaining gigs of ’99. In November a new bass player was found, Eazy. So, in January 2000 the guys once again returned to the studio to record their second demo entitled “Hell Yeah!” This demo was the one that made Feedback Boogie release their first full-length CD, “Out Of the Gutter, Into the Light”, which reared its ugly head at the world in April 2001. 2001 started out well for the band with among other things an appearance on Swedish national TV-show “Baren” Although, shortly after the CD was released, bass player Eazy decided to call it a day and left the band. Once again in need of a bass player, they found Fisch, who fitted the band like hand in glove. They played their first gig with the new line-up on Nov 30th, at Hard Rock Café, Stockholm. With a club filled to the max with crazy people and a band eager to show how a real rock show should be executed, little could go wrong and the gig was a success

Press Reviews ”The mascara flows when Stockholm’s Revolution Riot revives the sparkling 80’s LA rock. We’re talking about the time before Bon Jovi’s entrance, when there’s still was power in the scene and Motley Crue was the baddest band on the planet…” Martin Carlsson, Expressen, 2001-04-19 ”…it’s virtually guaranteed to find you involuntarily placing your foot on an invisible wedge monitor. /../they’re deliciously unreconstructed and - with your back teeth pleasantly afloat on an alcoholic ocean - surprisingly irresistible.” Ian Fortnam, Kerrang Magazine
