"Rocket City Riot was formed in North Alabama in 1998 by multi-instrumentalist John Mark King as part of the high energy rock movement lead by bands like Electric Frankenstein, The Hellacopters and the Gaza Strippers.
The following year, RCR recorded its first full-length album, We Name the Guilty Men, and appeared on the first volume of the seminal 13- volume Fistful of Rock-n-Roll compilation series. The next year Scotland's Twenty Stone/Blatt Records released RCR's fit to rave reviews in the U.K. press. Meanwhile, RCR made several compilation appearances in the USA while recording their second album, Middle Age Suicide. They followed that up with Pop Killer in 2003, on which they further perfected their hybrid of pop sensibilities with ass-shaking rock and roll.
With influences ranging from Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley and Muddy Waters to Iggy and the Stooges, the MC5 and AC/DC, Rocket City Riot bring some much needed substance to the over-commercialized punk-pop scene. With King on lead vocals, bass and guitar, Dave Seiden on lead guitar and Alan Slimak on drums, Rocket City Riot maintains an active live show calendar, proving that fans still crave rock with real character and roots.
