Do you remember the buzz you got the first time you heard The Strokes? A game changer weren't they? You will have a very similar feeling listening to The Rotaries On The Outs EP and wouldn’t you know why. It’s produced by a chap who was influential in manufacturing the sound of Is This It? The whole short player is a winner the title track On The Outs(April’15) is the standout.
On The Outs has a pure rock riff to marry to the indie. Not a monster riff perhaps but one solid as a brick shithouse wall and a lead break in the same vein. So a god honest indie rock song. A song about miscommunication ruining relationships On The Outs is one of the best indie songs of 2015.
“Always on the outs”
The Rotaries are an indie pop rock band from New York. They have one long player in the bank. On The Outs is off their same titled short player. The band have been ripping and rocking since 2010.
Shit you need to know:
On The Outs has been described as, “...a nostalgic rock tune” and their music as, “…captivating, hook-heavy and lively Caribbean-meets-indie-pop-rock sound.”
Of their music the band has said,“Musically we just wanted it to be punchy and fun!”
The new EP was produced by J.P. Bowersock who did nine to five for The Strokes, RZA and Ryan Adams.
The band's favorites are Sam Cooke, The Walkmen, The Strokes, Michael Jackson, Nirvana and Weezer. Their left-field influence is Bruno Mars.
The Rotaries have been compared to The Strokes and The Postelles. It's been suggested fans of The Kooks and Vampire Weekend might like them.
Their most random on stage cover was an Elvis Costello song.
More outstanding Rotaries tunes are Town Lights and Bicycle Girl which can be found on the EP On The Outs.
Talk of god honest rock'n'roll reminded me of the Chicago
punk rock band The Orwells and their four to the floor banger Let It Burn (2014).
“She
was wet in my bedroom,
My
stone it was turned,
Is
it love, is it lust?”
