THE SAYING GOES that you can’t keep a good band
down. For New York based five piece Riot that maxim was not only true but
hugely understated. Against all odds Riot fought for the right to be heard by
overcoming huge obstacles and battling a ferociously indifferent industry. That
they came through the wars intact with a musical legacy and integrity to match
is arguably a minor miracle and one not lost on their legions of loyal fans.
Riot’s early struggles have been fully documented. Their two previous albums
(especially 1980’s ‘Narita’), made for a riveting preamble for the appearance
of ‘Fire Down Under’. Despite notching up serious momentum, including healthy
album sales and being embraced by the UK and its burgeoning NWOBHM scene, the
bands fortunes were in the dumps. Their label (Capitol) had elected to abandon
them by refusing to release the album. In an enterprising move the bands fan
following instigated a campaign to get the record issued… which, in an early
sign of people power, was eventually accomplished but on a new label, Elektra
records. ‘Fire Down Under’, originally issued in 1981 turned out to be the
band’s creative zenith unleashing a brace of tracks that placed Riot in the
upper echelons hard rock nirvana. Produced, once again, by their
production/management team in New York City, the record explodes with deadly
intent. Tracks such as ‘Outlaw’, ‘Swords And Tequila’, ‘Run For Your Life’ and
the title track take no prisoners allowing vocalist Guy Speranza and guitarist
Mark Reale to shine like diamonds.”
