If you go to iTunes make sure you get the Rock & not the weird jazzy Rollerball that's on there too!!
Submarine is the new album from Australian rockers Rollerball. Recorded in 5 days at Black Box Studios in Brisbane, Queensland with acclaimed engineer Jeff Lovejoy, the goal of the recording was to capture the intensity & raw power of the Rollerball live experience.
Long regarded as one of the country’s most incendiary live bands, Rollerball are ready to tear the roof off. Sharing stages with stoner legends Queens Of The Stoneage, Monster Magnet, Fu Manchu, Budgie & Oz rock royalty The Angels & Rose Tattoo Rollerball are the the real deal.
Take a mix of AC/DC, Kyuss, Blue Oyster Cult & Thin Lizzy & you get a hint of the unique Rollerball sound. Massive riffs, surrealist lyrics, tribal rhythms & pounding grooves, this is hard rock without irony, pastiche or plagiarism. From turbo charged belters, prog mind melters, sing along shanties & epic stoner jams, Submarine is an album that demands to be heard from start to finish.
Prepare to dive.

Hey everyone, here's a bit of shameless self promotion:
I've just uploaded 10 new tracks to my page, come check 'em out if you can dig atmospheric & lo-fi electronica. Feel free to voice your opinion: I can handle criticism!
Yeah you bet were all coming i've seen a few posters up around brunswick it will be a good week for us monster magnet tomorrow night then you guys on friday night you'll love the east big stage with a really good loud pa i seen gun street girls there last week were looking forward to it see you all friday cheers mate...
Nice response man. I enjoy the way you neither agreed nor disagreed with my statement. Respect.
Anyways, I've been receiving multiple messages from friends from Sydney who are as pissed as all fuck that you guys weren't playing, and they're pretty jealous that Brisbane got the awesomeness that is The Ball.
seeing as this band is dead now, various members who still have access to this site have no problems making these sorts of comments:
The fact that you guys were the local support and not the national support last night is a fucking joke. Regular John are the lamest peice of shit to be attached to the "stoner rock" category since wolfmother. Rollerball rocked the shit out of the hi-fi and I am forever greatful for every gig I see you guys play. I am a HUGE Monster Magnet fan... would have gone to the gig regardless of who played, but you guys being there was the tits.
Regular John are fucking clown shoes, they have no soul and it sounds like they bought their "how to be stoner rock" guidelines and regulations book from a fucking weet-bix box. Fuck them and their boring, monotone songs. It's because of bands like Wolfmother and Regular John that I say (with 2 exceptions) Sydney Stoner Rock bands are fucking gay.
Live: 25 Sep - Monster Joe - Piazzola sul Brenta (IT) 26 Sep - Arci Valverde - Forlì (IT) 27 Sep - Next Emerson - Firenze (IT) 28 Sep - La Salumeria del Rock - Arceto di Scandiano (IT) 30 Oct - Henriksberg (Club KILL CITY), Gothenburg (S)
Great to hear that, Dave! And that pic is... priceless! :) Switzerland? Cool. Wish you a smooth trip. (As for moving there, thermal undies are a must, I think. And you know how it is: Moving days are always rainy days... lol)
