In fact we’d like to start featuring more top-notch skinhead bands from across the globe, so please do feel free to get in touch and point us in the direction of the finest street music from your corner of the globe.

While many of you lot will fill the bars today to watch Chelski take on the dark forces of Man U in the Champions League final, we’ll be down at the rubber factory, steel cap boots on our feet, dreaming of what could have been.

Riotous Assembly was more of a necessity than an idea. During 1981 so many bands were springing up all over the UK, making demo tapes, doing gigs, and generally having a damned good rant at the world, that we (Riot City) were gently pursuaded into releasing a selection of these bands, together with a few more established Riot City bands.
