RIOT V veröffentlichen heute ihr “Mean Streets” Album und damit die erste Scheibe in sechs Jahren. Zur Feier des Tages veröffntlichen sie den Titelsong `Mean Streets` als Video und sind auch schon zusammen mit TAILGUNNER auf Europatournee.
Bassist Don Van Stavern lässt verlauten:
„We’re more than proud to finally present „Mean Streets“ to the world! It’s an album that we put a lot of passion into for our legacy and fans. Throughout the years, I have learned what the listener expects from the band. We had some time off so we really wanted to make the fans happy with our return. We always write with Mark in mind and what he might have done. This one represents all eras of the band from the rock beginnings of „Rock City“ to our last power metal release „Armor Of Light.“ We always unleash the fire down under!“

Lyrics:
City streets we meet again
Five n‘ dime we hung as friends
Ruled the streets and didn’t give a damn
Dreaming of the times we shared
Never cried we didn’t care
Hopped the A train and rode on back home
Johnny law he knew our names
On the streets we had our fame
Living life full on without a care
Mean streets, take me back again
To the place where I became a man
Mean streets, take me to my home
To the place where we all roamed
Sidewalk shuffle was our game
Full of spunk and full of flame
Never left until the sun went down
To L’Amours to get our fix
Stroll the Cat club, pick up chicks
Memory lane will never be the same
Johnny law was on our side
Never ran and didn’t hide
Living life full on without a care
Mean streets, take me back again
To the place where I became a man
Mean streets, take me to my home
To the place where we all roamed
Sticks and stones won’t break our bones
To the alleys we once owned
Siren’s wail was always beckoning
Black and blue we did our best
Always better than the rest
Kickin‘ ass and takin‘ names again
I fought the law and the law won
Gave ‚em hell and had some fun
We’re still dreaming of our crazy times
Mean streets, take me back again
To the place where I became a man
Mean streets, take me to my home
To the place where we all roamed
Take me back again
To the streets where I became a man
Take me back to my home
To the place where we all roamed
‚Cause I’m back on the streets again
