Las Vegas Punk rock trio Crimson Riot have announced their third full-length album, Third Time’s A Charm, arrives March 20, 2026 via Leg Lamp Records, with the first single and music video, “Cross The Line,” out now.

Formed in 2017, Crimson Riot is made up of guitarist/vocalist Roxy Gunn, bassist/vocalist Chris Reject, and drummer Ryan J, Roxy’s father. Beyond their official founding, the trio has been playing music together for over 15 years.

Third Time’s A Charm is a twelve-song album that spans confrontational Punk and lighter, more reflective moments. The track “Cross The Line” is one that “takes aim at fair-weather friends and industry gatekeepers.”

Roxy Gunn says of their new album:

‘Third Time’s A Charm’ is our appropriately named third album and the title is kind of an ode to our efforts to make this what it is, which is probably some of our best work. We really dug into the recording process of this record and researched how best to achieve the sound we wanted. We were looking for that big, fill-your-entire-speaker sound without going too over the top. I think we definitely got it. This is the album that stands out. Third time’s a charm!

She comments further on the single “Cross The Line”:

Our first single ‘Cross The Line’ is an emotional spillover of years of being in the entertainment industry. Trusting people you shouldn’t; taking advice from someone that pretends they have all the answers just to leave you in the dust… This song is what comes out when you’re tired of doing most of the backscratching and the favor is rarely returned. This is my ‘I made my own table’ moment.

The accompanying music video was filmed and edited by Chris Reject, and was shot in December at the home of Las Vegas pyrotechnician Antonio Restivo, known locally as the Black Dragon in Tournament of Kings. To create the effects, the band reportedly burning through nearly seven gallons of fuel during filming.
