Description: RCR is a “POWER-SKA” BAND from Vancouver BC working overtime to bring you great original songs with powerful vocals & big juicy melodic hooks. If you see us live, you will remember the guitar solos & horn riffs the next day. We are 100% Power-Ska
Biography: Fresh “PowerSka” from the Pacific NorthWest: Rude City Riot now take their place alongside Canada’s top ska talents with the release of the self titled CD. Few Ska bands in recent memory arrive with a debut CD with such impressively well crafted songs.Though the members of Rude City Riot have differing musical pedigrees, they all have a strong reverence for the mighty Ska tradition and share the influences of Rock, Reggae and Punk.

The term “Radio Friendly” comes to mind when Rude City Riot’s melodic hooks and edgy vocal lines are ringing in your head the morning after the concert or from listening to the CD for the first time.

As a new band promoting their first CD and video, Rude City Riot are making friends and fans fans around the globe and they have only just begun – let the dancing begin.
