"There's a definite Nashville Skyline vibe to the frisky "It's All For You." On that song and others, Serluco's voice has a combination of joy and world-weariness that elevates these tales of loneliness and love."
"Country Breakfast is an impressive combination of the band's fragile strumming and its occasional forays into rowdier, garage-worthy rock such as "Just Like Jack Kerouac's Blues."" Jim Abbott, Orlando Sentinel
"Country-tinged folk-rock songs that sounded like a mix of Bob Dylan and Buddy Holly." Outloud Magazine
Biography
In the beginning, Jon created Rouse. The band formed back in 2007 when front man Jon Serluco teamed up with guitarist Alex Pax to fulfill their dream of starting a band. Together with Chris Vallone, Dylan Osborne and Vishal Gulati, they did just that. Over the next year Rouse would grow and change all the while keep pumping out music for everyone to hear. Through a few member changes, an album and a brief hiatus Rouse is back together and better than ever.
With a style encompassing a whirlwind of influences, they've been described to have a sound like Ben Kweller mixed with Bob Dylan.
Currently the band consists of Jon Serluco (Vocals, Rhythm Guitar), Chris Vallone (Lead Guitar), Dan Lacey (Keys), Andrew Melina (Bass), Rob Ruffner (Drums). With the new album available they plan to spread themselves everywhere they can.
