Description
ROCK E. ROLLINS was born ROSARIO ROCCO CALAGERO RAGLIARO, in LONDON, ENGLAND, 1940. His parents wanted to be closer to the war. However, due to a rare genetic glandular malady, ROCK E. did not begin to age until 1957, when his family immigrated to the United States. They first lived in New York City,and finally settled in EAST BOSTON. It was there the adventure began; long ago,when the world was black and white,and every cellar was home to another band playing "Gloria." The rest, as they say, is, or will be, history. Ladies and Gentlemen... the Purveyor of Zero, the Genius of Crap, the Idol of Real Pain...ROCK E. ROLLINS!
REVIEWS and QUOTES
I approached this CD warily. The first signs were not good.
Rock E. Rollins is a silly name, "Post Modern" conjures up images of tuneless, soulless Avant garde music, and the plain pink cover looks homemade (unless mine is a promo copy).
First appearances can be very deceptive, although, I WAS right about the misleading title-this CD has nothing to do with 21st century post-modernism. It's classic power pop! In effect this is a solo album by Sal Baglio, (Rock's alter ego), as he writes, co-produces, plays all the guitars and does all the vocals. The only thing he doesn't do is bass and drums.
The title track is the most ordinary song on the album, but even so it's not bad. Sal soon strikes gold with the third song, 'God Knows', an excellent power pop song with banks of jangly guitars and harmony drenched vocals. The next song 'Almost September', is even better, an epic ballad with terrific memorable hooks and heartfelt vocals. Sal has a fine voice and sounds more relaxed on the ballads than on the rockers. The other songs aren't quite up to the fab level of 'Almost September', but they are all good, and reveal a flair for strong melodies.
