Manchester rock n roll five-piece ROLLA have unleashed the video for their newest single “We Owe You Nothing“.
The song is part of our current playlist and came out last month via Run On Records. Grab it here.
ROLLA have also announced that they will play a special show at the iconic Salford Lads’ Club on November 15th. In addition, the band will play two shows as guests to The Lilacs at Stockton KU on October 25th, and The Soundhouse in Leicester the next day.
Speaking about the song, the band’s James Gilmore says, “It’s a statement, fuck you, fuck them, it’s us or nothing. We like to think it can have many avenues of direction to wherever or whoever you want to stick your two fingers up at. It’s just pure rock ‘n’ roll right down to its bare bones. I had the riff and the chorus hook laying around for a while and one day we all went back to it and it just all fell into place in our rehearsal room. It’s easily one of the songs I’m most proud of writing and it’s already a crowd pleaser live!”
Of the video, directed by Charlie Lightening (Paul McCartney, Liam Gallagher, Kasabian), ROLLA commented:
“We’re excited to drop the video for ‘We Owe You Nothing’ which was directed by Charlie Lightening. Charlie’s worked with two of our heroes Liam Gallagher and Kasabian so having his vision on this track means a lot to us. He captures the raw energy and attitude, it fits what we’re all about and this song is all about. It’s an absolute masterpiece, massive shout out to Charlie!“

Made up of James Gilmore (vocals), Luke McConnell (guitar) Tom Paddon (guitar), Luke Gilmore (bass) and Saul Bardsley (drums), ROLLA debuted in 2020 and affirmed their credentials as next wave stars when their 2023 debut EP ‘Nothing Less Than Everything’ shot straight to #1 on the iTunes Album and Alternative Charts. They’ve already shown their arena-readiness after touring with Kasabian following a personal invitation from Serge Pizzorno.
