He was selected from more than 700 submissions after the band announced they were auditioning singers. Frankie Banali’s widow, who is the band’s manager, talked about selecting John Torra. “We saw your comments, tags, and messages urging us to bring him on board. But what earned John the gig was his undeniable talent. His videos were outstanding—but when he stepped into the room with us, he blew the doors off our songs.”
“We all heard it: an authentic sound that brings our material to life the way it’s meant to be heard. He may be young, but he’s dedicated and professional. He brings a breath of fresh air that lifts us all, and we couldn’t be more excited about the future with him on lead vocals. Please join us in welcoming John Torra to QUIET RIOT!” she said.
