Riot 99

Riot 99 was a band that practiced a sound influenced by Oi! and Street Punk '77 from the city of Toronto. The group existed from 1999 to 2004. The band's stance called for breaking the status quo of the (according to them) passive Toronto punk scene and this is reflected in a couple of somewhat confrontational lyrics, on one occasion in New York City they made the public angry by play their song "Fuck America" ​​and ended the show with only one person in the audience (who came with them). In 1998 an incredibly wonderful and loverly bloke moved from Australia to Canada. There he met a Polar bear fuckin', ski-doo ridin' lumberjack who went by the name of Sexual T. As fate would have it, we met this cunt who played guitar and we started jamming. Then our guitarist was lured away by the promise of bountiful Cocaine and anal-japery. So we were left with our dicks in our hands so to speak. Not for long though, along came these other two cunts and we started jamming again. Things went smoothly for a fucking while, and we played our first gig on October 16, 1999 with no-future legends Red Alert. In our first year we played 34 fucking shows including a gig in NYC where we cleared the room when we played "Fuck America" HAR!HAR!HAR! We put out a 7" record and then the band broke up in a storm of protest and hatred. But we perservered, then one night we spotted this piece of shit asshole passed out in the gutter dressed in fun-fur leiderhosen. And that is how we met the degenerate sonofabitch Capt.Howdy. But we still didn't have a guitarist, enter Andy Class who had just got out of jail for unspecified "diddling" offences. We played lots of gigs and shit, went on fucking tour, put out a CD etc.etc. I've gotta go take a shit - get fucked. They sound is angry, nihilistic, real punk-rock! With former members of Glory Stompers, Stanley Knife and Com-Frac features Aussie singer Drew, spewing his lyrics with no regard or concern for anyone - this is not for the easily offended!! Musically flawless, Riot 99 are tight and aggressive with an amazing young guitarist that often seems to channel the late Johnny Thunders!!!
