BIOGRAPHY
Rock n roll, the devil's music, was meant to be dangerous and DragStrip Riot aim to keep it that way. Blasting out of your speakers at 100mph, DragStrip Riot plays a stripped-down, unadulterated, and unapologetic brand of rock n roll with nods to its origins in blues, punk, garage and country. Reminiscent of the angry sounds of Link Wray's reverb-drenched guitar, the melodies and aggression of the Misfits, the crunching riffs of AC/DC and the bluesy stomp of Bo Diddley; DragStrip Riot turn it up a notch and fly all their influences in the face of payola playlists with a fresh sounding hybrid rock n roll. This ain't your daddy's rock n roll, and it's probably not suited for anyone who likes their music "safe".
In the live arena, their intensity can be felt the moment the first chord is strummed and a leather jacket clad singer in dark glasses shouts, "We are DragStrip Riot!!!" Suddenly the drums roll in and the band kicks off at a breakneck pace, slowing down only occasionally to let the audience catch their breath, dance with their sweethearts, and gulp a beer or two.
Forging their own path while trying to remain true to what made rock n roll rebellious in its infancy, DragStrip Riot can best be summed up by paraphrasing one of their own songs: "It's the life that they live, it's the life that they love. And too much of something is NEVER enough!"

"It makes more sense than you'd think for this Seattle group to list both the Misfits and Bo Diddley as influences. DragStrip's frenzied tracks play punk not as reductivist rock but as fired-up noir-blues, with lyrics yowling out an exorcism, and the old riffs following every seamy urge" - Editor, CNet
