"...Invade Rome sounds like a collision of '60s rock, '70s muscle and '80s college faves; its new album, Light Eyed & Villainous, captures the band's live din pretty darn well..."
- TimeOut Chicago
"Milwaukee cult favorite Invade Rome brings the goods -- in this case, psych-rock with an unusually large drum sound..."
- Isthmus / Daily Page
"If you're into taking stock of new bands or like us have a slight obsession with saying you saw certain bands way back when, well this could very well be one of them. After all, does anyone remember early Kings of Leon?...Musically and fundamentally the same, but the look, the edge, the draw - completely different. There were some good people out last night cocking their head slightly to the side checking out this band and espcially lead singer Chris Vos. Maybe LAist is about to enter a rock phase? Well, that might be pushing it, but after such a long absence, it was nice not to feel cynical about rock driving home. That has to be worth a major record deal right there."
- The LAist
"The inaugural Invade Rome album, Light Eyed & Villainous...a burly, muscular rock 'n' roll album that recalls a more ferocious Kings of Leon, or a hard-charging My Morning Jacket. Vos' bluesy groan remains, but now the music is nervier, the production more modern. The disc's oversized drums could have been ripped from a Dave Fridmann Flaming Lips album."
- Shepherd Express
"....the band consistently offers upbeat high energy songs with addicting guitar riffs and powerful drum lines. With such a high level of energy coming through on the CD it’s no wonder Invade Rome has gained a reputation for putting on some stunning live shows. Tracks like The Phone Call and Play in the Band are relentless, while tracks like Mae West and Pretty Demons show off the groups vocal range...the vocals differ so much from song to song I at times wonder if there are four or five different singers. It all combines into a nice package that flows well despite genre incongruity."

“Justin Krol (Invade Rome) saturates each tune with a special blend of creativity, musicality, and relentless energy.”
Having recently changed their name, the four members of Invade Rome have been playing together for the past five years and continue to slay audiences with their unique take on psychedelic rock and roll. Refusing to be pigeonholed as simply "stoner-rock," Invade Rome spent the last year working very hard on over-compressing big drum sounds and saturating the tape machine with extra guitar for their forthcoming record, Light Eyed and Villainous. To help create this sought after wall of sound, Invade Rome enlisted the help of friend and producer/engineer Beau Sorenson (Sparklehorse, Death Cab for Cutie) and set up camp only 70 miles from home at the storied Smart Studios in Madison , WI. Light Eyed is the band's first LP, released on limited edition colored vinyl, CD, and digitally via their very own imprint label, VTK Music. It is now available at Insound (on vinyl and CD) and Bandcamp (name your own price digital in the format of your choice)!
Invade Rome are also building momentum through spirited live performances throughout the country, recently sharing tour dates with the Secret Machines, Dead Confederate, the Dears and De Novo Dahl, as well as major festival performances alongside The Flaming Lips, My Morning Jacket, The Go! Team, and Kings of Leon.
