He revealed that the album would feature six new songs recorded in the studio, with former bassist Rudy Sarzo and ''Rehab'' session bassist Tony Franklin playing on two songs each, as well as four live songs taken from Kevin DuBrow's final professionally recorded shows with the band in 2007. Banali said of the song choices: <blockquote>I made a conscious decision not to use the usual songs that people would expect. I picked tracks that were special and of the moment. Let's just say that there will be a familiar track, two unexpected choices and one that really shows the roots of Quiet Riot and how the band interacted in the live arena. I think that Quiet Riot fans will really appreciate my choices.<ref>{{cite web |last=Epting |first=Chris |date=2013-12-09 |title=Frankie Banali Discusses Quiet Riot's New Lead Singer [Exclusive] |url=https://loudwire.com/frankie-banali-reveals-quiet-riot-new-lead-singer/ |access-date=2023-07-20 |website=Loudwire |language=en}}</ref></blockquote> A Quiet Riot documentary movie, titled "''Well Now You're Here, There's No Way Back''" (named after a lyric in the band's hit song "Bang Your Head (Metal Health)") and directed and produced by Banali's fiancee [[Regina Russell]], was completed around this time.<ref>{{cite magazine| title=Frankie Banali Discusses Quiet Riot's New Lead Singer + More [Exclusive] |url=http://loudwire.com/frankie-banali-reveals-quiet-riot-new-lead-singer/ |magazine=Loudwire |access-date=December 10, 2013}}</ref> It premiered at the Newport Beach Film Festival on April 29, 2014.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://newportbeach.festivalgenius.com/2013/films/wellnowyoureheretheresnowayback_reginarussell_newportbeach2014 |title=Newport Beach Film Festival 2014 : Well now you're here, There's no way back |website=Newportbeach.festivalgenius.com}}</ref> In June 2014, the band released their new album, titled ''10'', their first studio release in eight years and their first since their most recent reformation.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/quiet-riot-to-release-10-album-audio-snippet-of-new-single-rock-in-peace-available/ |title=Quiet Riot To Release '10' Album; Audio Snippet Of New Single 'Rock In Peace' Available |work=Blabbermouth.net |date=June 25, 2014 |access-date=July 25, 2014}}</ref> Vocalist Jizzy Pearl departed the band at the end of 2016 to concentrate on his solo career, and was replaced by former [[Adler's Appetite]] and [[Icon (band)|Icon]] vocalist Seann Nicols, formerly known as [[Sheldon Tarsha]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://bravewords.com/news/quiet-riot-announce-new-vocalist-seann-nicols-working-on-new-album |title=QUIET RIOT Announce New Vocalist Seann Nicols; Working On New Album |website=bravewords.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=QUIET RIOT Announces New Vocalist SEANN NICOLS |url=http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/quiet-riot-announces-new-vocalist-seann-nicols/ |website=[[Blabbermouth.net]] |access-date=October 5, 2016 |date=October 5, 2016}}</ref> On February 13, 2017, the band announced that they would release a new album ''Road Rage'' on April 21.<ref>{{cite web |title=QUIET RIOT To Release 'Road Rage' Album In April |url=http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/quiet-riot-to-release-road-rage-album-in-april/ |website=Blabbermouth.net |access-date=February 14, 2017 |date=February 13, 2017}}</ref> However, in March, it was announced that Nicols had left the band and that [[James Durbin (singer)|James Durbin]] was the new singer.
