R!OT is a new Montreal-based punk three-piece of familiar faces in a new lineup: Sean Ryan (Irish Nails, The Mahones) on vocals/guitar, Danny Duke (The Ataris, The Queers, Ripcordz)) on bass/vocals, and Guillaume Lauzon (The Brains, Gutter Demons, People and Space) on drums.

The band formed during the pandemic's touring stoppage, leading to the new band. An EP is in the works, but the band has shared the single "Hit 'Em Where It Hurts," out now (Chester Records):

Oct 28: The Mansion, Kingston, Ontario
Oct 29: Living Colour, Toronto, Ontario
Oct 30: Upper Space, Niagara Falls, Ontario
