Just like the real thing!! "Me and John always had arguments about me liking The Stones better than The Beatles, and Rocks Off were the best band I've seen all week!"
/Julia Baird (John Lennon's sister) - Beatle Week, Liverpool, August 2005
ROCKS OFF IS VERY SORRY TO ANNOUNCE THAT THEY ARE NOT PLAYING BEATLE WEEK OR MATHEW STREET FESTIVAL IN LIVERPOOL THIS YEAR! PLEASE HAVE PATIENCE WITH THIS AS WE HOPE TO BE BACK AGAIN NEXT YEAR!
So you didn't manage to get yourself any tickets for The Rolling Stones last time round? Well, I guess you can't always get what you want.. or can you?
Oh yes! Get ready for Sweden's very own kings of rock - The Greatest Rolling Stones tribute band you might ever get a chance to see; Rocks Off.
Formed in Gothenburg, Sweden in 1995, Rocks Off has over the years had hundreds of crowds all over Europe rocking out to all of the old classics. They have proved to be a huge hit over in England, being invited back to Liverpool's Beatle Week and Mathew Street Festival every year for what will now be an impressive seven years in a row. These guys are nothing but top-class entertainment! Lead singer Tony Johnson is every bit the front-man, complete with Jagger's swagger, style, energy and sound. This band has everything it takes to start you up and get you rocking!
Rocks Off is a band not to be missed, whether you are a true Stones fan or just want to have a good time! I'm telling you now, wild horses couldn't hold me back!
/Ellen Adshead, 2006

We are heartbroken that you guys will not be playing in Liverpool this year! Will have to write a letter to "management" to express our displeasure ;-) It truly will not be the same without you.
