Search - Rollo :: Don't Look

"Don't Look," a compilation of 15 original songs, marks the first new material from the all-but-defunct band since the release of their vinyl 45 rpm record -- by default, a "collector's item" -- featuring "Heyday of the Automobile" and "After the Dance." Digitally re-mastered from the original carefully-restored master audio tapes, the new CD contains 15 "new" songs which have never been available before, including the title track, "Don't Look."  Rollo fans may miss the intensity of 80s favorites like "March of the Brain Dead" and "Geek Train" - songs that typified and animated Rollo's live performances.  Unlike those little-known classics, the newly-released material generally eschews the societal critiques that marked their earlier work, focusing instead on the enduring themes that characterize adolescence and love in the postmodern age:  anxiety, paranoia, longing, and loss.
