The Warriors formed in Los Angeles in the early 1980s with Parris Mitchell on vocals, Mark Evans on guitar, Rick Meagher on bass, and Alan West on drums.
Lineup changes became a regular part of their story. Evans left in 1988, replaced by Andy LaRocque, and Meagher departed in 1995, with James Rivera taking over bass and vocal duties. They kept recording through the 1990s and 2000s, putting out albums like 'Metal of the Sun' and 'Retribution' while dealing with financial instability and shifting personnel.
In 2013, Mitchell revived the band with a new lineup featuring guitarist Chris Caffery, bassist Sean Michael, and drummer Dave Raun. They released 'Escape from the Trap' in 2017, an album that some critics noted had elements of their earlier sound.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
