The Riot Squad

British rock band from the 1960s

The Riot Squad was a British rock band formed in the mid-1960s. Although they never achieved major commercial success, they are notable for their revolving lineup that at various times included musicians who would go on to achieve significant fame. Among the most notable members was David Bowie, who joined the group for a brief period before embarking on his legendary solo career. The band's music style incorporated elements of R&B, beat and psychedelic rock. Throughout their existence, The Riot Squad released a series of singles, but they did not produce a full-length studio album that gained widespread recognition. Their single releases included songs like "I Wanna Talk About My Baby" and "Gotta Be a First Time." The group underwent several changes in personnel and eventually disbanded towards the end of the 1960s, with various members moving on to other projects within the music industry.
