Check Out: Ultra Riot (Thrash Punk)
Recently, I did a Reverb Nation campaign where bands applied to be featured on the site. I had over 1,200 submissions and of them, I chose three bands to feature. I am posting them in no particular order, and first is Ultra Riot. This 5-piece is a thrash punk band hailing from Shreveport, Louisiana.
What did I hear from this band that separated them from the over thousand others? I felt a classic, old-school punk vibe from them from what, sounds like, people that can play their instruments well enough to make it through a show even if they were super wasted. While it seems they get political sometimes (as is expected from many punk acts), they seem to also sing a lot about partying and just having a good time. Can’t argue with that!
Check out their Reverb Nation artist page and take a listen for yourself. While you’re at it, check out some more of their links below:

Here is a fan-shot live video featuring four of the band’s songs (PC Punks + We Are All We Have [cover] + UxR + MMC):
If you like what you here and think they deserve to be heard more, tell me on Facebook or Twitter!
