Search - Roadsaw :: Rawk N Roll

"Genuine raunch and roll ... no frills here ... just pure rock and roll energy." -- Babysue There are scores of bands out there claiming to have "legendary" status, but only a few really meet the definition. Boston's Roadsaw is among that elite. Formed in the mid-nineties by Craig Riggs and Tim Catz, the band raised the bar for riff-loving hard rock, proving that the West Coast didn't have a lock on what most considered "stoner rock." The group released a single on Man's Ruin; put out three albums and a compilation of singles & B-sides; toured the hell out of the US & Europe with the likes of Nebula, Orange Goblin, and Scissorfight; and then--like all good bands and unlike too many shitty ones--went on the dreaded "indefinite hiatus." Well, crack open a cold one and get ready to rock the fuck out, because Roadsaw is back. After a successful US tour in 2005, an absolutely jaw-dropping cover of Led Zeppelin's "When the Levee Breaks" on the latest Sucking the '70s compilation, and appearances at both CMJ and SXSW, the band has reconvened to record a new album that will be coming out later this year. The core lineup is back, and this is the culmination of every great riff and every memorable melody. This is the "fuck you" attitude that defines rock `n' roll. This is Roadsaw.
