Roxercat-Crime
The legacy of Roxercat will be through their fascinating music. If you haven’t heard of them, it’s a crime. You’ve never read foreshadowing like this. A trio that brings the life back to live music, we listen to their single today, called Crime. Sorry, but not sorry. Featured in their EP from earlier this year called Pearls, this is one of their hardest hitters. It is difficult to balance a groovy intro without it becoming the mainstay. However, if you have experience like Roxercat does, you’re going to live in the groove. With a bass intro leading to a swinging rock rhythm, you can feel the beat in your bones. When you thought that could be enough, a guitar solo pretty much kicks the door wide open. It’s like listening to Steve Vai, but there are incredible vocals involved. The bridge involves quite the exchange between the guitar and the vocals, and keeps the wattage of this song on max. If anything, I can guarantee you that you haven’t heard lead guitar work like that in several years from an indie band. There is a threshold of awesome that exists for a band to make a legacy. Roxercat crossed that threshold one EP ago. I can assure you this isn’t an advertisement of any sort, the proof is in the pudding. I’d have loved to have heard this one on The Italian Job, any really cool heist movie would do. I’m banking on an Ocean’s follow up just so that this band can make the soundtrack. You can listen to their EP and follow them on Spotify for more great rock and roll. For now, sign off with a calling card for crime.
Roxercat - 2020
The new song from Roxercat starts off with an emotive guitar line that seems like it is almost weeping, much like the state of the world that was during one of the most dreaded years of human civilization - 2020. What follows is straight-up rock and roll reminiscent of artists like SRV and LedZep. Each and every band member is an expert on their instrument, and boy it shows, and how! Be that singer/guitarist Price Jones' carefully crafted chordal progressions, guitarist Stan Lassiter's raging guitar solos or bassist Bill Francis's groovy lines. Each and every instrument finds its own space in the mix and individual sections to shine. '2020' is almost a progressive track. Moving from sorrow to rage, to acceptance (as the band states 'that's just life'), the mood of the track is constantly volatile. Roxercat has managed to create a gorgeous piece of art that is a testament to their exceptional songwriting skills. Roxercat is a progressive take on Rock n Roll The latest release from Roxercat is a unique new sound that has perhaps been lost in time. With a captivating narrative and a production that is worthy of the current generation, Roxercat takes a peek into the history of rock music and borrows influences from the greats. Owing to its diverse soundscape, '2020' could be a perfect fit for dramas like 'The Pursuit of Happyness' or even disaster documentaries like Chernobyl: The Lost Tapes. In conclusion, Roxercat - 2020 is a track that fans of indie music and rock and roll aficionados alike would both enjoy equally. The band is surely one of the best new acts to emerge from the Nashville underground music circuit. '2020' is the concluding track for Roxercat's debut EP 'Pearls' which was released in 2023.
