The Rolling Gangsters’ music is rock and roll at its hardest and heaviest form. Get a giant shaker, put in a bit of Zeppelin, Motorhead, AC-DC, ZZ Top, Black Sabbath and a bit of '70's punk, give a strong shake, pour out the contents and guzzle the Gangsters’ sound. The music attacks and enchants you like the sound of mufflers from badass choppers, alarms you like the smell of gasoline and shakes your bowels with the roar of a 12 cylinder engine. If you're afraid to get your hands dirty, the Rolling Gangsters are not for you. Their guitars are straight from the highway to hell, feeding off Mississippi delta blues, bleeding for every stretched note. The bass plasters you to the wall and at the same time enchants you with bedazzling melodies. The drums make you want to strip naked and drink yourself into a frenzy. The vocals assault you, yet caress your ears like the taste of bootleg whiskey, conjuring the smell of a thousand cigarettes smoked angrily upon a tapestry of dreamlike, fantastical lyrics. The lyrics of Rolling Gangsters are not just words filling the songs, they are stories, sometimes funny, sometimes bitter, sometimes visionary. Defined as “a Rock ‘n’ Roll version of Tom Waits," The Rolling Gangsters are screwed, blued and tattooed before you even get out of bed, so get ready to kick your own ass, releasing all your frustrations on this mad planet until you collapse listening to their debut album.
