Warrant is a Los Angeles hard rock and glam metal band that emerged from the Sunset Strip scene and became one of the defining melodic rock acts of the late 1980s and early 1990s. The band broke through with Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich, featuring “Down Boys,” “Sometimes She Cries,” and the power ballad “Heaven,” which reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, before following with the multi-platinum Cherry Pie and signature songs including “Cherry Pie,” “I Saw Red,” and “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” Much of Warrant’s classic material was written and sung by original frontman Jani Lane, whose melodic songwriting helped distinguish the group beyond its glam-metal image. Later albums include Dog Eat Dog, Ultraphobic, Rockaholic, and Louder Harder Faster. The current version of Warrant features longtime members Erik Turner, Jerry Dixon, Joey Allen, and Steven Sweet with lead vocalist Robert Mason.
Formed in Hollywood during the heyday of the Sunset Strip scene, WARRANT quickly rose to fame with their 1989 debut, which went multi-platinum. Their follow-up album "Cherry Pie" solidified their place as one of rock's biggest acts, selling over 3 million copies and spawning several chart-topping singles. Despite changing musical landscapes, WARRANT has continued to thrive, performing at major festivals and venues around the world while introducing new generations to their classic hits through various media placements.
