Ann Beretta
Ann Beretta is a punk rock band from Richmond, Virginia. Formed in 1996 by Rob Huddleston, Leer Baker, Chris Rupp and Russ Jones (Leer and Chris later left), the band plays straightforward punk with small doses of rockabilly and country mixed into their sound.
The band spent several years on tour playing with bands including Hot Water Music, ALL, the Bouncing Souls, Less Than Jake and city-mates Avail. They have released albums on Fueled by Ramen and Lookout! Records. However, after their 2001 release New Union Old Glory, they left Lookout! to release their next album on with Canadian label Union Label Group. In the fall of 2004, ANN BERETTA "unofficially" disbanded after a long bought of disappointing label & management issues.
In 2008 ANN BERETTA has committed to a handful of shows and a few select festivals but has no plans to release any new material or to head out on any extensive tours - The focus for now is simply to play music together and have fun doing it.
