About Me

NEW!! -- BASHING SARAH POLLEY'S TEETH IN (LIVE)THE CLASS RIOT hails from Toronto, Canada, and can ensure that "this reign of terror will last!" Drawing from various punk, hardcore and rock & roll influences, The Class Riot combines musical styles and genres with conceptual, social and political idiosyncrasies. By and through the use of sarcastic expressionism, this band is going to turn heads (or rip them off) and really dent the scene. Some of you may not understand where they're coming from, or have any appreciation for this type of music, but when you feel the sting of an offensive remark, geared to make you scream back, you'll realize just what you're dealing with. The Class Riot will fuck you up!
SYSTEM FAILURE
You may have heard alot of talk about this album over the last two years, or seen its name or image thrown around here and there. Well this summer marks the release of the best album you'll ever hear! (Well, except for the Clash discography, Motorhead discography, Social D...you get the point). It will stand out for sure, though! System Failure represents the culmination of two years of blood, sweat and cheerleaders being poured into every aspect of its existence! This album does not fall any shorter of excellent!
SYSTEM FAILURE
AVAILABLE NOW!
BOOKING
We currently do not charge a booking fee, however we love money so any amount you could give us would be much appreciated, as well as gas money, that would also be very nice of you(s). If you want to give us all of your money, we will take that too. If you want to give us no money, then you better promote the fuck out of your show so that more than two people come out for it, so it will actually be worth playing. And of course we play parties too. Usually we play corporate/office parties, because we take business so seriously, but if you have a house party shindig going down, we will make it better. We fully guarantee to make any party you put on 100 times better due to our presence there. Thanks for your time.
