“If a line could be drawn that connected ‘70s hard rock superstars like Boston and Thin Lizzy with ‘80s pop-metal gods Def Leppard, it would almost certainly pass through Riot.” –Allmusic

Released in November 1977, Rock City is the first studio album by New York City based seminal heavy metal band Riot. Rock City is the only Riot album to feature original bassist Phil Feit who went on to join acts such as Billy Idol, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, and Adam Bomb, where he briefly crossed paths with another Riot alumni, drummer Sandy Slavin.
