Submarine – Rollerball
There is a lot to be said for getting stuck in and just getting the job done. When you read that the latest long-player from Brisbane rockers Rollerball was recorded in just five days under the watchful eye of producer Jeff Lovejoy, it makes complete sense. No need to water down the band’s powerful sound with frivolous studio tricks and useless overdubs. Lovejoy knows his six-string madness and has brought out the best in the boys.
Drop the needle (or laser) anywhere and you get the goods, the dueling harmonic sparks that fly in Seasoar, the ragged rawk of Run Aground or the rifftastic B-Ray Boogie. This is a band that knows there is power in arriving at the studio with a pocket full of songs, turning the amps up to eleven and getting their groove on.
It isn’t all bombast though as there are also moments of introductory bliss like Devil and the Deep Blue Sea and The Devils Reprise, moments that give you just enough time to catch your breath before you get pummeled again. Then there is the closing track Never a Rodeo, that at over fifteen minutes long gives you ample time to repack the billy, get your head in music mode while it brings it all home like a condensed western. The shadows get longer and longer before the big red ball disappears over the horizon.
Spark one, spin one and dance the night away as Rollerball has your soundtrack needs covered.
