Riot, Riot, Upstart is a 1999 album in the classic early-'80s
Agnostic Front style: full-on, straight-ahead, adrenaline-driven hardcore. It may not be anything new, but it is refreshing in the late '90s to hear the genre's roots still being adhered to, and the lack of glossy overproduction is another plus.
Agnostic Front's political concerns and righteous anger are still very much intact, and while it's a shame that there aren't many new voices popping up to address these concerns, it's nice to still have veterans who know exactly what they're talking about. ~ Steve Huey
