![[Listen] Rolo Tomassi: "Mesmerizer"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4044002_lg.jpg)
La semana pasada les informaba que Rolo Tomassi esta por lanzar un nuevo sencillo el cual desde ese mismo instante ya podian adquirir de manera digital y con ello, estarian recibiendo de manera inmediata " Old Mystics " para su respectiva descarga asi como el b-side que lo acompaña titulado "Mesmerizer" el cual, ya pueden escuchar con toda comodidad aqui abajo y, bueno, creo que lo mas obvio de este segundo track es ese cierto cambio que han querido implementar en su sonido ya que junto con el comunicado de este lanzamiento y su cambio de alineacion, tambien [...]

Yesterday, Rolo Tomassi treated us to the first taste of their as-yet-untitled upcoming third studio album, in the form of new single, 'Old Mystics' . It's the first new music we've heard from the band (as opposed to the previously unreleased demos and the like on Eternal Youth ) in nearly two years, so we were pretty damned excited to hear it. First of all, go and listen to the song over on Rolo Tomassi's official Facebook page . At the [...]

Rolo Tomassi es una de esas bandas que como les he venido diciendo, para la corta edad que tienen sus integrantes, no hay ningun dia en el que no esten trabajando en algo nuevo; ya sea en la grabacion de nuevos tracks y encargarse de preparar lo que sera su nuevo album de estudio asi como de encargarse de crear su merch oficial. El año pasado editaron un extenso compilado de 4 viniles en el que reunian demos, grabaciones en vivo, y alguna que otra version acustica de algunos de los tracks que componen sus dos albums pero tambien, [...]
Sometimes hated, often ridiculed - and very occasionally venerated - the instrumental can be a mixed area of success for a rock band. From guitar specialists (like Steve Vai and Yngwie Malmsteen), through to contemporary prog and math rock (we're thinking our friends Rolo Tomassi, and the guys in And So I Watch You From Afar) have tried their hand at them. And yeah, plenty of bands have also dropped instrumentals somewhere onto their albums as little more than filler...but even the humble "filler" track can turn out to be something rather special every now and again.

So the FirstAndForever Fest organized by Dr Martens is still going on. Its a series of instore gigs around the UK featuring some awesome and upandcoming bands. This Thursday, Wild Mercury Sound will be making an appearance at the Spitalfields branch. I'm really looking forward to the Rolo Tomassi one in Leeds on 20th of October though. Those guys are mental. The instore shows are free but you know, they're in a store so space is limited. Anyway Agyness Deyn and Ash Stymest (two of my fav models) star in the photos for [...]

Dr Martens have been running a load of instore gigs up and down the country throughout October as part of their First & Forever Festival, which culminates in three ticketed events on 20th, 21st & 22nd at Camden's Barfly. With performances from Rolo Tomassi, British Sea Power & The Blackout these gigs are not to be missed! To be in with a chance of winning tickets head over to the Dr Martens site and tell them about your first _____? It could be anything! First pair of DM's, first fight, first festival, first kiss, first rave.... You get [...]

So, you thought that because the summer had ended there wasn't any more large-scale live music on? Well think again. Well, medium scale, at any rate. Dr Martins, the shoe makers, have been putting on some shows in their stores recently. If you've been to one of the shows in Liverpool, Cardiff or Leeds then lucky you. If not, I'm afraid you missed three pretty good bands. However, if you're London-based you've got a couple more chances to see some of their choice bands. The Spitalfields store is hosting Wild Mercury Sound on Thursday and then you can catch Rolo [...]

They're young. They're from Bradford. They're a bit like Rolo Tomassi cos they sound like Paramore mixed with Dillinger Escape Plan. They're Marmozets.

Fortunately, the weather once again holds out on Sunday as thousands of music fans flood into the centre of Sheffield for the last day of Tramlines 2011. By early afternoon, venue capacities become how many people will fit and still be able to get to the bar and the main stage has a steady moving queue. For this reason, I return to the New Music Stage, which today is curated by local screamo/hardcore group Rolo Tomassi. The band have great taste, as the first band I see are [...]
What have Pat Metheny and Zinedine Zidane got to do with our old friends Rolo Tomassi headlining the Red Bull Bedroom Jam Stage at Sonisphere Festival 2011? At the same time as Metallica played the Main Stage, no less? You'll have to watch our interview to find out. Rolo Tomassi @ Sonisphere Festival 2011 setlist [...]
A brand new band from Norway who sound like a bizarre mashup between The Mars Volta, Placebo and The Dillinger Escape Plan. Interesting doesn't cover it!
Rolo Tomassi are playing the biggest headline show of their career in London at the Highbury Garage. There is no lack of love for them from us at Thrash Hits so there was no way we were going to miss it. Extravaganza time! Six things we found out when Rolo Tomassi destroyed The Garage: 1) [...]

Remixed is a column that will highlight remixes we actually think are worthy of praise, be they old or new. Because most remixes are rubbish. Words: Saam Das I went to see Rolo Tomassi (on the noise-loving Holy Roar record label) at Offset Festival back in 2009. I lasted about 129 seconds before running out of the tent. Hardcore is an understatement. Much to my surprise though, they've turned in a rather blissful [...]
New scenes start with a bunch of like-minded people who want to create something new because they're unhappy with what they've already got. This is #UKSWELL.
You can download a free MP3 from Rolo Tomassi's forthcoming b-sides and rarities album, Eternal Youth right here. You should also go and see them live.
Not to be out-done in the festival announcement stakes, the guys and gals over at Sonisphere have today confirmed an additional 28 acts that will be playing at this year's event at Knebworth Park. And there's plenty to get excited about, no matter what your particular rock'n'roll persuasion happe ns to be. Check out the current line-up poster, [...]
After listening to Psycho's female blowtorch, Penny Torture, and Ava Inferi's haunting distaff elemental, Carmen Susana Simões, I realized it's time we just chill and admit that women are all-around better at this metal-singing thing. Is this mad exaggeration? It feels like that when I'm away from an MPEG player, but then I listen to those [...]
