Roxies, The - Keep You Up At Night LP

The Roxies are a four-piece punk rock/power pop chimera from Berlin who, after their great debut "Don't Wanna Dance Because I'm Told To", which was released in 2022 on Dirt Cult/Family Spree, are now presenting their even smarter new record! 12 songs that combine 60s pop, bubblegum vibe, RnR and 70s California beach punk with absolute confidence. It has such a rousing freshness and the songs are played so casually that you just can't stand still. The tracks come with garage-like guitar licks, deliver poppy harmonies, crisp, groovy drumming and absurdly cool bass hooks. They also get melancholic every now and then and, above all, exude a musical depth that comes across like a combination of The Nerves, Clorox Girls and B52s. The Roxies have a British touch on top (Kinks and Buzzcocks say hello) thanks to their singer Matthew, who comes from Yorkshire, UK, and who is regularly supported by super cool backing vocals and occasional vocals from bassist Imke. Ingenious stuff!
