San Francisco based Rolling Blackout is a force of nature. With an extensive and ever-growing catalogue of all original material, this band isn't just playing; they're forging a path that blends everything from the deep soul of blues to the crushing weight of heavy metal. It is raw, visceral, emotive, improvisational but also thoughtful, calculated and constructed.

Their music is a masterclass in dynamic fusion. Expect the undeniable power of hard rock and heavy metal, marked by stomping rhythms, driving riffs, and a raw, untamable energy. Interwoven through this sonic landscape are rich veins of jazzy grooves, psychedelic progressive textures and time signature changes. Hints of classical training emerge with stacked arpeggios and scales that elevates their sound beyond typical genre confines. Powerful, soulful vocals and crying guitar leads evoke deep feeling, and the pure wild fire of their metal anthems, with big choruses, screaming leads and terrifying drum fills express rage.

Rolling Blackout delivers an energetic, aggressive, yet surprisingly uplifting and even bittersweet experience. This is a band that is strong, confident, and resolute, leaving audiences feeling the "Urgency" and embracing the "Chugnutz" in a truly unforgettable performance.

Live, Rolling Blackout is a spectacle. They treat every show like it's a 1987 arena, channeling the swagger of 80s glam with synchronized jumps, explosive stage runs, and mugging for the cameras. Rolling Blackout commands, captivates, and creates an immersive journey through diverse sonic landscapes, designed to pack bars, electrify festivals, and dominate any stage.

‘Fools Gold’ is out now on all streaming platforms.
