Crimson Riot Drop Third Album Third Time’s A Charm

Crimson Riot release their third album Third Time’s A Charm, showcasing the Las Vegas trio’s high-energy punk sound and growing momentum on and off stage.

Las Vegas punk trio Crimson Riot have released their third full-length album, Third Time’s A Charm. The album is out now (March 20) via Leg Lamp Records.

With this record, the band leans fully into its strengths, delivering a fast, hook-driven sound packed with conviction and energy. Across twelve tracks, they channel the spirit of classic melodic punk while balancing high-speed anthems with more reflective moments. As a result, the album captures the group at their most confident and fully realized.

Formed in 2017, Crimson Riot features guitarist and vocalist Roxy Gunn, bassist and vocalist Chris Reject, and drummer Ryan J—Roxy’s father. Although based in Las Vegas, the trio’s chemistry runs much deeper, having developed over more than 15 years.

That connection translates into a tight, explosive sound that defines the album. At the same time, Third Time’s A Charm marks a major milestone as the band’s first vinyl release. Guest appearances from members of Buck-O-Nine and Lo(u)ser further expand the record’s dynamic range.

Building Momentum and Taking the Stage

Over the past year, Crimson Riot have steadily built anticipation through a string of singles and high-energy live performances. Their music has gained airplay from Rodney Bingenheimer on Little Steven’s Underground Garage as well as 92.3 KOMP’s Homegrown Show in Las Vegas. In addition, critics have taken notice, with New Noise Magazine highlighting the band’s driving energy and sharp delivery.

Now, with the album officially out, Crimson Riot shift their focus to the stage. They will celebrate the release with a hometown show at Grey Witch in Henderson, Nevada, on March 20, before preparing to take the new material on the road.

As they continue to grow their audience, Third Time’s A Charm stands as a defining step forward—proving the band’s momentum is only getting stronger.
