‘If the
Strokes were made of cheese, you'd only have to mention a grater and they'd
cry. The Rocks , conversely, would wiggle and squirm, wail like Jagger,
and fight the grater tooth and nail. They'd lose. But they'd lose like
naked writhing beasts. Which we think is important.’ The Fly
‘As early
Oasis proved, arrogance is the essence of pop. So here's London boy-girl
five piece The Rocks with a track that not only declares it's confidence
but demonstrates it. A bouncing Motown bass and tickling drums define
the groove, before James Taylor's Princey falsetto enters, then letting
his layrnx rip into the chorus. Combines with the thrashier 'The Bomb',
this is a real statement of intent from one of few British garage hopefuls.'
X-Ray Magazine
'Yes!
Just as hillbilly rockers Kings of Leon will undoubtedly crumble once
they're forced to miss Bible class, so the new wave of scuzz-ball Brit
rockers will rise up and take their place. First up, The Rocks. They have
post-rock NYC riffs. They have hair which looks like the Cooper Temple
Clause after a powercut down at Fish. Come on, at least they're not Australian'
