"Rhoads are a special band... an act that explore the emotional heights and adult themes of acts such as Coldplay and Keane, but with the youthful exuberance of the 20 year olds they are.
Following in the magical lineage of sibling acts, Rhoads are fronted by Simeon and Sam Clarke, exuding all of the confidence and passion of the Gallaghers, but replacing their arrogance with a plethora of tunes.
In only twelve months, the quartet have written a vast catalogue of songs, that draw on the key themes that effect all of our lives to form truly a band of the people, but with a sensitivity that will lead to lighters being held aloft in festival fields the world over"
-Tim Dellow (Transgressive Records)
