Five Songs I’m Obsessed With [5/18 – 5/24]
Female-Fronted Friday: Allie Riot
When: 2024
Where: California
Genre: Punk/Metal/Shock
FFO: Joan Jett, Wednesday 13, Poppy
Allie Riot blazed onto the scene in late 2024 with her rendition of The Runaways’ classic “Cherry Bomb.” Soon after, she released a rather spicy video, produced and directed by Society 1’s Matt Zane, to accompany the single, and her place as a shock punk princess was cemented. Allie followed “Cherry Bomb” with a G.G. Allin cover (“Gimme Some Head”), which was also paired with an appropriately risqué video.
However, in early 2026, she showcased her metal chops with the release of “Say Your Name,” offering a glimpse of her versatility. I am excited to see what’s next from Allie Riot!
You can check out “Say Your Name” and her other videos below. Be sure to follow her socials for updates and more music!
