Quiet Riot 10 (also alternatively known as just 10, or Quiet Riot Number 10) is the twelfth studio album by the Rock band Quiet Riot, which was released on June 27, 2014.[1] It is their first studio album since 1988's QR not to feature longtime and founding vocalist Kevin DuBrow in any newly recorded material, due to his death in November 2007. It is also the band's first album since reuniting in 2010. Although a studio album, the final four tracks on Quiet Riot 10 are live performances taken from some of the band's final shows with DuBrow in 2007. Love/Hate vocalist Jizzy Pearl joined the band in November 2013 and performs lead vocals on the six studio tracks.[2][3]
After a longtime search for a new vocalists that went on and on, the aforementioned Jizzy Pearl, a veteran singer having worked before with L.A. Guns, Love/Hate, and Ratt, solidified the current touring line-up. Frankie Banali on drums, bassist Chuck Wright, and guitarist Alex Grossi round out the group. The album's sound mixes heavy metal with elements of blues rock and general hard rock influences. Many fans of the DuBrow-fronted incarnation of the band expressed skepticism of the album. However, it has received overall positive reviews from publications such as KNAC.com and Music Enthusiast Magazine.[4][5]
