About

Warrant is an American rock band hailing from Los Angeles, formed in 1984. Known for their infectious blend of glam metal and hard rock, the group made a significant impact in the late '80s and early '90s with their anthemic hits and high-energy performances. The classic lineup features Jani Lane (vocals), Erik Turner (guitar), Joey Allen (guitar), Jerry Dixon (bass), and Steven Sweet (drums). With albums like Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich and Cherry Pie, Warrant carved out a niche in the pop-metal scene, combining catchy hooks with a raw, guitar-driven edge.
