Review

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, All Music Guide

Trivia

  • The editing for the "Riot Riot Upstart" music video was done by the same editor who worked on the Brady Bunch title sequence. This explains the segregated screen effect which is used several times in the video.
