Hi Red Roll! How did this feel like the right move for you in dropping your latest music Another Way of Silence?
Hello Guys! Thank you very much for this space! This album is so important for us. We’ve been working on it for 2 years! We can’t wait to see people’s reactions, but anyway it is something really personal, we did it for ourselves, so however it goes we are really happy with the result. We are excited, we are nervous, and we are so fucking happy!
Talk to us about the narrative of this music and why it’s so important?
“Another Way Of Silence” is our confession. Inside this album there is our deepest part, and our sickest part. We like to say that it is a journey inside the sickest part of ourselves. It is like a session with the psychologist…12 sessions!
The album took shape during the lockdown in Italy. We couldn’t play, we couldn’t find each other. So we started working on this album, sending us the ideas and the first home recordings via whatsapp. We started making sense of our days, we started making noise over that silence.
How is this storytelling important for the album?
In this album Lyrics are really important. Each song is an emotion. I don’t like to write words clearly…I like to paint emotions, moods, words in which each person can be recognized in a different way. Words that take the listener on a sensory journey, but a journey that can be different in each of us. Words that give rise to an emotion, no matter what, or be the same as I had when I was writing the lyrics. Everyone is a child of his journey.
How do you make sure your beginning, middle and end feel like it flows into each other with purpose?
For this aspect, the work with our producer: Pietro Foresti was fundamental.
Pietro followed all the writing and recording stages of this album. He took care of the arrangements and helped us to give continuity, homogeneity to this work from start to finish.
Give us a sentence to describe your album?
a punch in the stomach, a trip to our sickest part, the silence that precedes a burst of energy.
What is special about this music dropping?
Everything! Each moment that brings us to this moment is special. We have so many special memories connected to this album. I cannot describe the emotion when Universal Music said yes about the distribution of this work! You know? When we were children we were looking behind the album of our heroes and we were dreaming about the day where that logo would have been behind our cd. Now is that day.
Leave us with a significant lyric from your latest music!
This is “Shrift”, the track number 4.
Shrift
Now follow me, this’s not a song, it’s a shrift
I need to feel your eyes, I need to feel your eyes on me
Indulge my ego for 3 minutes
feign interest in my words
enter in this sea of fog, that I love to draw with my words
I want a place inside of you
I want a space inside of you
I need a place inside of you
I need a space inside of you
I sell stories in black and white, draw feelings, vomit emotions
yeah, I spit emotions on this mic
I do it to not feel alone
yes I do it to fill up the void, to scream louder than my silence
I do it to give cause to this night,
cause I’m alone on this journey
I want a place inside of you
I want a space inside of you
I need a place inside of you
I need a space inside of you
yes I’m selfish, I sing because I need it, it’s my psychologist, it’s my therapy.
let’s live these three minutes together, embrace each other in this space.
Now hug me, now hold me, now hug and me make me smile.
Let’s breathe together, let’s move together, two minds making love, wet bodies in this rain.
I want a place inside of you
I want a space inside of you
I need a place inside of you
I need a space inside of you
I want a place inside of you
I want a space inside of you
Let’s fly away
This is the place in my mind where I can feel the freedom of, where I can feel the freedom of a broken space
This is the place in my mind where I can feel the freedom of a broken space…. Let’s fly away.

Italian band, Red Roll, is making 2022 their best year yet. They just released their new song, Shrift, which will be followed by the release of their full length album later this month through Universal Music Italia. The album was recorded in Monza, Frequenze Studios, January 2022, and according to the band, creating this album was very therapeutic. Each song depicts a state of mind, a marginality, an extreme; a departure from what is socially acceptable in daily life. A departure from what we say out loud in everyday life.
The band, Red Roll, was born in the summer of 2018. It was formed by four lifelong musicians. The band is composed of Passo on vocals and guitar, Leo on guitars and vocals, Cesi on bass, and Jonny on drums. Since that day, they have played nonstop. They have been making their dreams come true one step after another. Red Roll has found a way to get their music out there, despite the unprecedented times of the pandemic, which was full of restrictions, particularly in Italy.
This year the world will see the escalation of Red Roll as a band in the music world. The band just signed a distribution deal with Universal Music Italia for their upcoming album, and have recently signed with manager Andrea Dulio.
