The Riff Randells

With their self-titled 7" release that came out in the spring of 2000, the Riff Randells had the chance to package their brand of punk-pop that looked up to <a href="spotify:artist:1co4F2pPNH8JjTutZkmgSm">the Ramones</a>, Joan Jet, and <a href="spotify:artist:1ys7rh45eXDGu51qnd10tl">the Smugglers</a>. Originally consisting of <a href="spotify:artist:5JUYSPkis2Mk6HUbmMqk1m">Sean</a> (vocals), Anne-Marie (drums/vocals), Kathy (guitar/vocals), and <a href="spotify:artist:45clIs3edO7rpmSxYq5ymP">Stacy</a> (bass/vocals), the band would eventually narrow down to a three-piece after <a href="spotify:artist:5JUYSPkis2Mk6HUbmMqk1m">Sean</a> left to join a Buddhist retreat and Kathy took over on lead vocals. That same year, Mint Records followed with the Riff Randals second EP Who Said Girls Can't Rock! A self titled CD EP followed in 2001 for Delmonico Records, although the line up changed once more - the bass slot now being filled by Justin. No strangers to touring, the Riff Randalls next year included a US tour with plans for an UK tour and single in 2003. ~ Mike DaRonco
