About Me

riotgun.... The story itself is an interesting one indeed. During the post-"riot" year of '93, following the wake of the famed "L.A. Uprising" (the L.A. riots to the rest of the world), a small band of individuals grouped together to form a unit of musical collaboration. Their mission... create and perform music that represents the trials and tribulations of our American Working populations. Blue collar and possessing a notion of musical defiance against the mainstream "punk" populus, "riotgun." set out to conquer the world in the name of "Americore". Their own personal interpretation of Punk, Oi!, and Hardcore (in the traditional sense) and Rawk n' roll.11 years of beer, guts and out of hand chaos and these So. Cal. miscreants still manage to rank in the OC Weekly 129 Greatest OC Bands of all Time at the position of 82, beating out the likes of No Doubt, Save Ferris and light weight rockers Lit, while tailing behind OC mainstays The Adolescents, Social Distortion and Jose Feliciano. Maybe punks last hope is this rag tag band of old school hooligans, or maybe they are the bringers of the apacolypse. Anyway, it's all good when these boys hit the stage.
