Riot and the Popshots are an energetic four piece punk band from Cheltenham. Formed in the summer of 2007 out of being sick and tired of a boring music scene, RATP set out to make punk rock as they like it. With furiously fast guitars, venomous lyrics, chant along choruses and the occasional bit of ska. RATP have been causing a stir everywhere they go with their super high energy show.
Having recorded their debut self titled EP in early 2008, RATP are moving onto bigger and better things... From shows with local heroes 4ft fingers and [spunge] to a support slot with punk legends The Vibrators, The Lurkers and Demob and having completed a small Uk tour in the summer you got to catch these guys fast to catch your piece of the action.
