Riot - Rock City album flac

Rock City is the name of the first studio album by New York City based heavy metal band Riot released in November 1977. It was first released independently by Fire Sign Records, run by the band's producers, Billy Arnell and Steve Loeb, who also owned the Greene Street Recording Studio, before the album was picked up for wider distribution by Canada's Attic Records and by VIctor Entertainment in Japan. Vinyl copies of Rock City can be differentiated by the color that frames the front cover artwork

Rock City, Rock City, Be what you wanna be. Yeah! Well all the fancy cars, and all the funky bars. Feel the fire burnin' under your feet. When the smoke clears honey, you ain't got no money. Then you'll start to feel the heat oh my god !

The group's surprising debut was originally issued in Japan only, which could explain why this 1977 release isn't more widely admired by rock/metal fans outside of Asia. Rock City boasts tight production and songwriting, and a melodic flair that approximates artists associated with the New Wave of British Heavy Metal.
