THE RODDIES: MONSTERS & BUGS
The brothers from Pennsylvania bring their style to new levels on their sophomore album. We're a band of brothers (Twins Rich and Fran, brother Keith) and cousin Ray. We've been making music, jammin foot stomping head knockin beer drinking campfire songs for a lucky 7 years together. The Live shows showcase the brothers harmonizing, jamming guitars and a solid bass and percussion back bone. They like to take pride in the musicianship they exhibit and bring to each and every show. What we've been hearing about the new album:
MONSTERS & BUGS REVIEWED:
The Roddies new album Monsters & Bugs was reviewed by Leslie Snyder, Origivation Magazine:
The Roddies 5 Stars "Iconic"
A science experiment creeps out of Philadelphia.“Given Song,” a lighthearted alt-rock track about nature, talks about taking care of the earth and appreciating all our planet has to offer. This track features “gritty” vocals with a hint of rustic country music. Don’t be afraid to play it around the campfire! This CD is wonderful!
The Roddies are a brotherly story of rock-n-roll. The Rodowicz brothers, twins Fran and Rich, brother Keith, and their cousin Ray are from a long family history tree of music. The boys grew up on the hard and melodical rock of Pink Floyd, Zeppelin as well as the vocal harmonies of The Beatles and guitar harmonies of the Allmans. Their Grandfather was a musician in the 50's and 60's backing greats such as Artie Shaw and Frank Sinatra on touring gigs. Their father played up and down the east coast branding the music overtones throughout their lives. Ray and Keith played in various bands while the twins were away near the Great Lakes playing ice hockey for school. The four finally sat down and brought their own musical talents together, jamming out after a family party. The underlying blood line brought them together and music poured out. Seven lucky years together and the guys continue to write and play their own version of a Northern bluesy rock.
"The band wears it's classic rock influences on it's sleeve on their debut EP...The Allman Brothers, tones of Beatles and Zeppelin are in there, as is the musicical creativity of all four Roddies." - Philly Metro
