Roxies Keep You Up At Night

The Roxies are a four-piece punk rock/powerpop chimera from Berlin who, after their great debut “Don't Wanna Dance Because I'm Told To” released on Dirt Cult/ Family Spree in 2022, are now presenting their even smarter new album! 12 songs that combine 60s pop, bubblegum vibe, RnR and 70s California beach punk with absolute aplomb. It has such an infectious freshness and the songs are so casually belted out that you simply can't stand still. The tracks feature garagey guitar licks, poppy harmonies, crisp grooving drumming and absurdly cool bass hooks. At the same time, they also become melancholic from time to time and above all exude a musical depth that comes across as a combination of The Nerves, Clorox Girls and B52s. The Roxies probably owe a British touch on top (Kinks and Buzzcocks send their regards) to their singer Matthew from Yorkshire, UK, who is regularly supported by super-cool backing vocals and occasional vocal contributions from bassist Imke. Ingenius stuff!
„… as bitter sweet as honey on a frigid Siberian winter night. They wham bam thank you ma´am with no nonsense powerpoppunkrock that makes the listener cream in their jeans a little. I love music and I love The Roxies. They are obertittenaffengeil.“ Justin (Suspect Parts , Clorox Girls)
„As they used to say back in the day on Dick Clark's American Bandstand "It's got a good beat, and I can dance to it! I give it a 10!" Paul Collins (The Nerves, The Beat)
„If only more bands were like the Roxies. No bullshit. Great tunes played with proper attitude. If they weren't so busy, maybe we could play a show together ;-)“ Jet (Buster Shuffle)
