Roshambo have released their second album, “Lonesome Men From the Woods”; an album where they have found their way home to a sound that fit them perfectly. The room is larger with plenty of space for the layered guitars and their playful melodies in something that now sounds more like energetic indie pop/rock than pop punk. A good varied album, creative and with fun arrangements. Here are a couple of songs.

We wrote about Roshambo in the beginning of this year, and this Autumn they released a new single with two songs, “Arson”. They first song “Arson” feels something in the way of what they have presented before; an energic pop punk with American influences. A good song, but the sound has a little too much treble for my taste.

The second song “Cigarette Lemonade” is the one I like the most and is also showing a new side of the band I think; a nice messy indie rock and which has a hint of rock from the sixties in the verses. Listen and download here below.

They got their name from a song by the band The Network, a band that inspired them a lot at the start when they created their sound.

You can find the single on Roshambo’s bandcamp page, on Spotify or on their Facebook page.

Here we have a band that plays indierock/alternative if they were about to describe their style themselves. But I have do disagree and say that it is more like pop/punk. But that’s what’s tough about music, to categorize it.

Roshambo was founded 2009 in Karlskrona and have already released an EP and right now they are recording new material. The EP starts off with a short acapella track and the next song is a really nice punk song!, also the best track on the EP, then there follow 3 other songs, but they are more “poppy”. Nothing that get stuck in my head directly, but they grow as I listen to them.

Roshambo wanted us to push a bit for their poppier songs but my advice to you is to log on to Spotify and look up their EP and listen to PR Swine. It rocks!

Roshambo can also be found on Myspace!
