RECORDS
Independent label: Riot City Records was a Bristol-based label set up Simon Edwards, Dave Bateman and Shane Baldwinin in the late 1980 between punk band Vice Squad and Heartbeat Records "for the release of music from bands riding the second wave of punk". Originally it had been the bands' intention to select the bands who would record for the label, though during the first year of operation touring commitments dictated little output, and following just four releases, control was returned Heartbeat. In its four years of activity the label saw an explosion of British punk music, releasing some 33 singles, and 12 albums during its reign, regularly dominating the Independent Chart. A Spin off label Riot State introduced the UK to American punk, with the compilation album "Hell comes to your House" during 1982. Riot City received its share of criticism, with journalist Garry Bushell describing the label as "the dustbin of punk", and members of Crass accusing the label of being the "back door to EMI" (Vice Squad had gone on to sign with EMI / Zonophone label and used Z series cat numbers). Riot City folded in the late-1984 and label boss Edwards continued with his job as a route planner with the AA. In 1994 he returned to the music industry as head of Trash City Records. is a punk band formed in 1978 in Bristol, with an initial line-up of Beki Bondage (vocals), Dave Bateman (guitar), Mark Hambly (bass guitar) and Shane Baldwin (drums), Riot City Records Former Address: 4 Melrose Place Bristol 8.
