Roll It Over


By localbandz, 2014-07-27
Roll It Over

Formed in April of 2011, Roll It Over immediately began constructing songs comprised of big choruses and catchy guitar riffs. With a sound that takes it's influences from 70's arena rock, 80's progressive music, and 90's alternative rock, the band has worked hard to build a sound that is unique, yet easily accessible.

Over the past few years, the band has managed to build a fan base throughout the Mid-Atlantic region and has shared the stage with many well known acts like Saving Abel, 12 Stones, Hurt, Smile Empty Soul, and Taproot.

The band's debut EP, "Dawning on the Red Streets," was recorded at Fairgreen Studios and features 5 songs including "Memories" and "Once You're Gone" which have received radio play on stations in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware and South Carolina. Each song was carefully constructed to create atmosphere and feeling, which can be felt through the melodic vocal and guitar arrangements, and the raw energy provided by the bands powerful rhythm section. That, coupled with hard work of producers Kenny Kingsborough and Brian Melvin, led to what the band feels is their finest work to date. The band strives to create powerful, catchy music that everyone can be immersed in. It's easy to be labeled as a certain genre but Roll It Over aims to bend those rules and incorporate any and all styles of music into it's ever-growing sound. With tour dates lined up though out Spring and Summer 2013, and a full length album in the works, Roll It Over is force to be reckoned with.

'Dawning on the Red Streets' EP is now available on all Major Digital Retailers including Itunes, Amazon, Google Play, and Zune.

David Hicken

David Hicken is an English composer who lives on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii. His passion is creating beautiful music that inspires a sense of peace, harmony and joy. His solo piano works are reminiscent of George Winston and David Lanz.

English composer David Hicken began his musical training at the age of three. He studied piano, clarinet and organ as well as music theory, and was awarded music scholarships to a number of prestigious boarding schools in England.

He was performing organ concertos with the Oxford Symphony Orchestra when he was only sixteen, and solo organ recitals at many Cathedrals throughout the country, including Westminster and St. Paul's.

A year later he moved to the United States to continue his studies at Peabody Conservatory of Music, and he then began composing. After three offers from records companies, he signed with President Records, and his first CD “The Final Toccata” was released when he was nineteen. His second CD “The Shadow of Youth” was released by Prestige Records, London, and after a sold-out performance as soloist with the Westchester Symphony Orchestra, he was asked to record two CDs of organ music for Laserlight Records entitled “Symphony Gothique”, and “A Christmas Pastorale”.

While working as a music director in Beverly Hills, California, he was in great demand as a piano teacher, and taught the children of Hollywood celebrities. Even music industry heavyweights such as Producer David Foster, Film Composer James Horner, and Television composer Snuffy Walden chose him teach their children.

Corrin Campbell

Corrin Campbell

Female-fronted power trio takes a Minnesota-nice girl to the edge! With the "Certified Auto Tune Free" frontwoman on bass, the band brings smart writing, strong musicianship, and an organic rock sound. No autotune, no beat detective, no apologies!

There's only one artist in the US backed by the military. And that unique position belongs to Corrin Campbell .

U.S. Army Sergeant Corrin Campbell , in fact. Corrin has been leading a double life for the last 5 years: one as a full-time soldier and another as a DIY independent artist, touring on her limited leave days, recording on the weekends, and working to make a name in the industry.

"I've always wanted to keep the worlds separate, really. I didn't want anyone to think I was exploiting my military service to get ahead in my music career. I wanted to be equally successful at both, and really earn it. But when I was offered this job for the Army, where I was able to play original music and show the public that soldiers are real people, I decided to let them merge - if only for a couple years," says Corrin .

Corrin Campbell and her band The Election released their first EP in May 2008. "It was really a side project; something to do for fun. I didn't expect it to get such a positive response, but we sold enough copies and garnered enough reaction to think, 'Hey, maybe we should really try this'." The band was quickly compared to Paramore, Evanescence, and even Heart and began performing around the Baltimore area.

With the release of Corrin's first full-length 'Game Night' in November 2009, the band's opportunities quickly began to increase - playing everywhere from the steps of the Lincoln Monument in Washington DC to 6th St in Austin, TX; from Artscape in Baltimore to being selected to open Lilith Fair 2010 at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD. "I never thought that we would be able to create an album that was commercially relevant from my apartment," mused Corrin . "We had such limited time and funds to make it happen; but we've gotten a really unexpected, positive response from fans and within the industry."

As a soldier, Corrin has had extraordinary experiences: she deployed for a year with the 1st Cavalry Division in Operation Iraqi Freedom II; Corrin was selected for and performed with the U.S. Army Soldier Show and toured the continental United States, as well as Korea and Cuba. She performed for troops all over Iraq, even opening for Ted Nugent and Toby Keith on their USO tour through Baghdad.

Corrin has performed for huge audiences, including the National Anthem (as well as pre-game fan plaza performances) for professional sporting events including home games for the Atlanta Braves, Pittsburgh Steelers, Los Angeles Lakers, Seattle Mariners. She has also performed nationwide at multiple National Hot Rod Association events and the Music City Bowl in Nashville, TN. In 2013 alone, Corrin's audience count exceeded 160,000 live and 10.5 million broadcast.

"I never dreamed that this could possibly be my job for the Army," says Corrin . "I can't wait to see what chapter comes next!"

Jenny Franck

Jenny Franck

Female Rock Singer-Songwriter hailing from the streets of Chicago. Elements of 90's Rock influence.

Jenny Franck is a rising star in the alternative/grunge scene, with an ever growing passion for music. Her love first started with the piano, evolving to guitar. Her signature sound is heavy with a twist of grunge and voice that captures the soul. Her inspirations have influenced her direction. They are rooted from artists like Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, Silverchair, Elliot Smith, and Alice in Chains. Her evolution has been personal, musical, and spiritual, in developing her writing along with her collaborative efforts. The passion you hear through her music is done like no other, delivering her life’s events and emotions with such intelligence and grace. She says it in style each and every time through some of the best grunge/punk/rock music on the planet.

One could clearly identify her growth from her very first EP, “Nothing Girl” released in 2005. This was followed by her self-titled EP, self-released in 2009. Her “Unplugged” EP self-released in 2011 went through the same process. The contrast from one to the other is inspiring to say the least. Her growth is palatable as her music begins to change its form, as we are constantly is a state of motion. It’s a natural progression that Jenny Franck has perfected to her audience’s delight.

Jenny Franck’s latest project is still in a state of growth. “Beautiful Lies” which is being produced by Jaben Pennell (he most recently co-produced, mixed and played on the theme song on Jackie Chan’s latest movie, CZ12) is set for release in early 2014. As one might conclude, a few songs may trickle out as fans grow more anxious for this upcoming CD.

One particular song “Black Crows” released through Ingrooves/Universal features Michael James (founder of IndieProMix) on lead guitar. This is one of her songs that tap into a serious, dark place. As the title indicates, it is a symbolic marker to what is holding her down. Lyrically, it is representative of the overall mood of this CD. The fusion of acoustics, electronics and its dark undertone is one of many powerful moments of this song. The chorus becomes a crescendo, taking you into the darkest point of the song. It's comparable to the energy of the ocean's waves. Majestic to witness yet contain such raw power. Jenny’s song grabs you the same way.

Audiences are following her journey from the very beginning to her life today. It’s a ride you shouldn't miss.

Jenny Franck will be touring in 2014. There is no additional information at this time.
