First Reviews For Rockin' Roulette!

Hey, everybody! I couldn't be more excited about the reviews of Rockin' Roulette that have come in over the past week. Here are some excerpts: "Alpha totally embodies that lost, vagrant soul that the genre pushed so hard [in the late '80s] and it’s great to hear it down with an authentic heart once again. ... anybody that likes actual rock music with guitars will find a wealth to love here. ... This music does what it wants and takes no prisoners, and nothing finer can be said of a rock n’ roll artist." -- RJ Frometa, Vents Magazine "With ... a set of vocal chords slathered in grease, Alpha leaves a very unique and individual imprint on his music. ... David’s solo work contains the bite of his past projects but with nothing getting in his way to deliver the goods. ... out flogs Flogging Molly and sends Social Distortion back to class with its attitude. ... There’s a total outsider perspective to the lyrics with themes of living on the street, self-abuse and screw the world shining through but the poetic turns to the madness incite fist pumps instead of frowns. ... As a one-man gang he’s unstoppable." -- Anne Hollister, The Indie Source "A sense of true passion burns through these tracks as David Alpha’s fiery vocal delivery takes front and center stage. Piercing lyricism helps to tie the whole of the collection together, featuring just the right level of wordplay, storytelling, and humor. ... On 'Rockin’ Roulette' David Alpha crafts a unique style, one that feels so contemporary while drawing liberally from rock and roll’s glorious past." -- Skope, Skopemag "David Alpha is a man of many faces; from sojourning blues/punk man, to underground rock n’ roller . ... Everything you hear on this EP is an authentic repetition of music and life as it’s meant to be heard. The lyrics talk tough. The music doesn’t relent and you know it’s crossed that path. David Alpha is truly like a lost, yet not forgotten, enigma; he comes and goes as he pleases but he is still in it for the power of the music." -- Michael Rand, Mobangeles "... a fireball of vitriol, hard drinkin’ nights and tight songwriting that not only get the job done but set the workplace on fire in the process. ... It’s a lifer’s sentiment on being resented and it hits the mark for those of us who’ve walked that fine line between do-gooder and degenerate. ... David Alpha’s solo work is cooking and burning, kind of like the material laid-down by PW Long outside of Mule. It goes down to the barest bone of his influences while marrying modern aggression to classic melody that catches like a virus and gets stuck in your head like a tumor you don’t want removed. -- Sebastian Cole, Gashouse Radio All for now! Everyone rock on safe and well! Dave
