Manchester’s Rolla are back with a new single ‘We Owe You Nothing’. The latest single marks a new era for the band as they sign with Run On Records (The Royston Club). Guitarist Luke McConnell has stepped up to mixing duties with Gareth Nuttall (The K’s) producing.
Their time on tour with Kasabian in 2023 wasn’t wasted. The intoxicating violence of their Leicester peers’ debut has been taken on board as they reimagine ‘Club Foot’ in the most visceral and violent intro of the year.
With stadiums back on the rock ‘n’ roll agenda, Rolla have announced themselves as someone to open them via Luke Gilmore’s colossal and destructive basslines. Throbbing with malicious intent, Gilmore descends to the underworld, flirting with ‘Fuckin’ in the Bushes’ and ‘666 Conducer’ along the joyride.
Guitar music is defiant mainly, but not from a position of power like this. Rolla are underdogs (for now), but they project themselves like champions. Chest-out, shoulders back, and zero fucks given! James Gilmore’s howls into the ether with devilish charm and Zeus-like authority.
There are no blueprints to rock ‘n’ roll, but ‘We Owe You Nothing’ is as good as. Hellacious and rebellious, Rolla are back and better than ever!
