Track of the Day: Rolo Tomassi – Stage Knives

• 16th Mar 2015

The enduring brutality of Rolo Tomassi is something that should raise a smile on the sourest of math-rock faces; a band who have never compromised their ideals, nor given in to the pressures of being independent musicians.

New track ‘Stage Knives’ is a testament to their admirable grit and determination and goes another step towards proving them as one of the most fascinating and four-dimensional bands that the UK has to offer.

Their new album ‘Grievances’ is set for release on 1st June via Holy Roar records and if the rest of it is anything like this new track, you can stick a big red badge on our shirt that says WE FUCKING LOVE THIS BAND.

Touring like absolute bastards as always, the band have also announced a very special set of live dates week of the new album release. Four shows across London in four different, very small and intimate venues, with four different support bands.
