We are the Riot - Release a great new video!!!

We are the Riot featuring members of Coal Chamber and Static-X are here to stay!!!

Los Angeles based Hard Rock band We are the Riot featuring Meegs Rascon and Mikal Cox of Coal Chamber and Andy Cole Ex-Static-X have released the official music video for their track 'It's not what you Wanted'. The video produced by Brian Cox at Digital Iris was filmed at the Salton Sea near Palm Springs, California and originally premiered on Loudwire. 'It's not what you Wanted' is the first release from the band's new EP which is Available Now!!!!), and they will be heading into the studio this November to record a full length album.

We are the Riot were formed initially by Rascon and long time friend Cheyne Fritts in 2010 in an effort to re-enter the music scene with a brand of Rock that encompassed the raw emotion and energy of Coal Chamber, but with melody that could bridge a gap and capture a wide audience. This would be the first time that Meegs Rascon and Mikal Cox had played together since Coal Chamber disbanded in 2003. Meegs Rascon built the band with musicians that he thought could deliver his dream with conviction, attitude and energy. It started with Mikal Cox on drums and was soon followed by Andy 'The Kid' Cole on bass, who was the late replacement for Tony Campos in Static-X (now Wayne Static). The band launched in 2010 playing shows around the greater Los Angeles area, to initial rave reviews. The band took an indefinite hiatus in 2011 to allow for Coal Chamber and Static-X reunions tours and to find a permanent front man who could capture the audience’s ear and imagination.

We are the Riot used the intermittent touring schedules as an opportunity to go back to the creative drawing board and write a record that far surpasses anything anyone has previously written, in addition to filling a perceived huge hole in the Rock scene. On October 21st 2013 We are the Riot, fronted by new singer Jimmy Trigger, re-launched themselves to a packed House of Blues Hollywood. The overwhelmingly positive response from fans, friends and family reinforced the attitude that We are the Riot are throwing down the challenge the industry, bands and fans to step up and get Rock back to its raw and motley roots. In April 2014 We are the Riot released their debut EP 'The Hollywood demo Sessions' a three song sampler. We are the Riot celebrated the release by completing its first national tour as direct support for Wayne Static of Static-X 'The Wisconsin death Trip' 15 Anniversary tour. The tour was an enormous success with We are the Riot barely leaving the crowd with energy for Static's set every single night. A full length release and additional tours to be announced in the Fall / Winter.
