Very longtime HardRadio friends QUIET RIOT are proud to announce their new lead singer: JOHN TORRA. The 23-year-old Long Island vocalist stood out among more than 700 submissions following the band's open call for singers. John sent his audition videos to management and also shared performances online, where they went viral and sparked an incredible response from fans. "We saw your comments, tags, and messages urging us to bring him on board. But what earned John the gig was his undeniable talent. His videos were outstanding — but when he stepped into the room with us, he blew the doors off our songs. We all heard it: an authentic sound that brings our material to life the way it's meant to be heard," says the band's manager, Regina Banali, Frankie Banali's widow.
