ROELANT Releases New EP 'The Narrows'
Houston-based power trio ROELANT is breaking a 4-year silence with their new EP 'The Narrows', released on Revolution House Records. For their sophomore effort they’ve enlisted the talents of mix engineer Steve Christensen (Steve Earle, Khruangbin) and mastering engineer Dave McNair (Snarky Puppy, Fantastic Negrito). Their first single, 'Wrong', is a funk-rock juggernaut featuring monster riffs and horns and topped by ROELANT’s soaring vocals.
ROELANT looks to follow up their 2015 release 'Music To Change The World By' which yielded two Billboard charting singles, 'Staring at the Sun' and 'Soda Pop Kids'. 'The Narrows' provides plenty of musicality and flare, but also taps into the spirit of the protest music of decades past to be lyrically relevant as well as musically entertaining. ROELANT has toured throughout Texas, notably headlining and selling out the Heights Theater in Houston. They’ll be touring in support of 'The Narrows' in the summer and fall of 2019.
"Rock n Roll was the protest music of the 60’s and 70’s and the tension in our culture at the time really fueled the music," says singer and guitarist Justin Roelant, "and it’s my hope that we can tap into that again to make a record that’s both grooving and thought-provoking."
