the Roulettes New York
The Roulettes thought they played their last show in Portland, OR, in 2004. A guy wrote "It's about time they shut the f**k up" on their poster. Alas for him, they did not! The band re-emerged in NYC in 2009. Energized by their hometown, they started writing Mommy Comes Back, their first EP in 20 years.

the Roulettes recommends:
Just listen to Amanda's voice go from soothing to a killer wail--and their collective guitar chops with insane drums.
go to albumMoody and gorgeous, rough and wild. Intricate guitars, soaring vocals, beats that make you want to dance and fight the power.
go to albumWho else can make you want to dance to the lines "trying to make ends meet before gentrification hits." The album swings between statement + party ("Oh f**k is that my ex?!") but is all punk heat.
