Anthem full Stadium Rock at its best! This is the best way to describe this wonderful 4 piece band. 

Originating from Edinburgh and formed in 2009 this is a superb 4 piece band consisting of Dean Krumins (Vocals), Robert Flavell (Lead Guitar), Derek Smith (Bass) and newly recruited Michael Macintosh (Drums).

Having listened to Rolled up 20s highly addictive pure rock and roll album several times it is hard to single out any particular highlights as the whole album is a complete gem, my favorite tracks being Lock Down, Gypsy Tinker Traveling Blues, I want it this way, Sing for Sixpence, Good Advice, Long Way Home and Old Before My Time.

Overall I found it is impossible not to love Rolled Up 20s album which is jam packed with stadium rock esc vocals, superb drumming and superb guitar riffs.  The whole album includes lots or great air drum and guitar moments.  Within the bands sound it is easy to identify the influences of great stadium rock bands, with certain guitar parts sounding very similar to The Edge’s sound within U2 and certain vocals sounding not dissimilar to Bon Jovi.  That said, this is a band destined to achieve great things in their own right and listening to their album it would be all too easy to mistake Rolled Up 20s for a massively world renowned Rock band at the top of there game.

To sum up, Rolled Up 20s self titled debut album is pure rock and roll and a must listen for any lover of rock music and in particular stadium rock. Remember the name because these boys are going to be huge!
