Search - Roy :: Killed John Train

"Roy toes the introspective indie-rock/alt-country line without tripping over it." - THE STRANGER "If I didn't know better and you told me Roy was made up of members from such hardcore outfits as Botch and Harkonen, I'd say you were full of shit. Who ever heard of metalcore maniacs switching gears so dramatically, and piping out an album of country-tinged indie rock tunes? It sounds far-fetched, but somehow Roy's members have come up with some truly moving and beautiful tunes; add a dash of twang-touched pop and college-rock guitar flair and suddenly we're talking incredible electrified magic. " - SPLENDID "It's fresh, it's new, and though you've been here before, you know that you're gonna want to see how it comes out in the end. If anything, it is certainly evidence that these Roy boys have come up with a band that deserves to be much more than a side project." - MundaneSounds Killed John Train is a significant leap from Roy's last full-length Big City Sin (Fueled By Ramen). While the melodies, smart lyrics and genre hopping of their previous work are still present, Roy has pushed ahead into new territories. Favoring fucked-up chords, sparse drumming and `60s and `70s artists for inspiration while quietly sowing seeds instead of crashing out of the gates, Roy has taken a new approach to their band.
