New Music Friday #4: The Roulettes
Because we all need new music for a weekend…
From: Auckland, NZ
Who: The Roulettes: Justin McLean (guitar & vocals), Ben Grant (bass & vocals), Tye Stott (drums & vocals)
The Scoop: The Roulettes are keeping it real. The songs have a lot of influences that are obvious but don’t feel like an imitation of any of them. They’re a three piece having fun and doing it their way. There is also the start of some good recognition coming their way. They have had airplay on Kiwi FM & The Rock plus exposure in the current season of Outrageous Fortune & on the soundtrack.
There is a curious mix of New Zealand & Brit sounds at play throughout the songs - all of which are around the perfectly digestible 3 minute mark.
Do yourself a favour and spend some time with The Roulettes.
Shuffle with: The Buzzcocks, Straitjacket Fits, Blur & The Verlaines
Play on: Sunday afternoon for randomness
