The Riot Before is currently finishing up a tour of Europe to support their most recent release, “Rebellion”. To celebrate the end of a long journey, the band has released a music video for the song “Backstage Rooms” from the album.
The video was shot in their hometown of Richmond, VA and directed by Lucus Krost.
“Rebellion” was tracked at The Magpie Cage in Washington, DC with ultra-mega-legendary producer J. Robbins (Jawbox, Jawbreaker, Against Me!) and released in April on Paper + Plastick.

The band has also released a donation based download of a B-side from “Rebellion” entitled “Blank Slate.” All money raised from the download will go to support the organization These Numbers Have Faces. You can go to the charity’s website to download the song and hear a personal message from guitarist/vocalist Brett Adams about his involvement and support for them!
Bassist Corry Manning had this to comment on the details of the video:
“We shot the video all day at Brett’s house. We started at about noon and went until 4 in the morning We were using smoke machines in the house and the ADT went off and about 4 fire trucks showed up. We had to explain to the firemen “its cool, we are shooting a video”.. It was one of the longest, most stressful days of my life. The worst part is, that we still have one more shot to get, but I did get to play dice, so that was cool but I lost a lot of money…not so cool. The concept of the video is the concept of the song. Once you do something enough times it starts to become routine and isn’t as cool anymore. So, the video starts out as the biggest and best raging party you have been to and ends up as the lamest worst party ever… bummer.”

Punknews.org has launched a stream of the new album from Sunderland, UK’s Leatherface. You can head over to the band’s profile page to stream “The Stormy Petrel” in its entirety.
“The Stormy Petrel” is the band’s ninth full-length album and will be released by various labels worldwide. The North American LP/CD version will be released March 23rd via No Idea Records. Their version will feature an entirely different cover art and overall layout than the European, Japanese, and Australian versions released this week.
BYO Records released the band’s last album, Dog Disco, in 2004.
Leatherface formed in August 1988, and their music has often been described as a bastardized cross between Hüsker Dü and Motörhead. Though never attaining much more than a cult following outside their native country, the band has been cited as an influence by higher-profile band such as Hot Water Music, Dillinger Four, and Tiltwheel. Jack Rabid, music critic and publisher of the music magazine Big Takeover, once listed Leatherface’s 1991 release Mush as one of the fifty greatest punk albums of all time.
Leatherface recently flew over to Canada to start their Canadian/US tour, which concludes in an appearance at this year’s Harvest of Hope Fest in St. Augustine, FL. They will be joined on the road with Canada’s Yesterday’s Ring, with select shows featuring Bridge & Tunnel and The Riot Before. You can check out the dates by clicking “more” below.
