The Perfect Recipe
Now, here's a very cool rock band that, first of all, gets a gazillion points for their name, and while we're at it, another gazillion for their music! With the raw, let's-get-in-the-van-and-tour attitude, The Rockvilles have
crafted one of the year's best albums! All low-fi, mean, lean barnburners like "Danger," "Long Way Home," and "Never Again" rise above the run-of-the-mill records that are out there now. Mosh-worthy pop punk, the lyrics are potent teen angst dynamos, propelled by meaty, melodic riffing, charging the band's electric locomotive with lethal, occasional, accurate soloing. "Danger" is a mix of crunch and radio-wise punk (think: Ramones). It has everything the seasoned or novice punk rocker looks for in a complete, competent band.
"You've Really Got Me This Time," with its raunchy Betty Page vibe and rock around the clock, never ending cadence, is another reason why The Rockvilles are oiled and armed with excellent songs for a good year on tour! - Phil Rainone, Jersey Beat
