Produced by Joe Queer, The Roman Line’s debut is filled with the kind of uplifting pop-punk songs that I can never get enough of. Nothing too sugary or too heavy on the cheesy side of things. Instead these guys are all about rocking out with just the right amount of grit and pop sensibilities worked in there.
“Morning Portraits” starts off with a short intro before heading for the stratosphere with “Dawn After The Wreck”. After that they never look back and keep on cranking out one anthem after the other. Melodic and energetic as fuck are words that come to mind when describing The Roman Line’s sound. Throw in big hooks, singalongs and thumping bass lines and you’re about there. Think The Menzingers with Mike Ness on vocals… yeah, that would work.
Typical for me though to come across this band just as they are breaking up.
Score: 8 out of 10
