Music Review
Band: Rohan
Title: Ask A Stupid Question

Rock / Psychedelic / Folk

Rohan started his first band at the age of 15 and he's only about 20 now. Yet, he's already worked with David Virgin, Billy Bragg, & Lloyd Cole, among many other great talents. After you listen to his music, you’ll agree he’s an old soul with a fresh and exciting sound.

We have no doubt that Rohan is heading for major fame. He has a way with words and the voice to carry them. He tugs at our hearts, makes us think, and makes us laugh. He’s unique and yet has a little Joe Strummer (Clash), Mike Peters (Alarm), Justin Sullivan (New Model Army), Billy Bragg , Rev Hammer, & Billy Joe Armstrong (Green Day) in him. All great men, right?!

We’ve listened to this album in full 12 times now. At first listen, we thought it was a little too raw and had its imperfections. However, the more we listened to it, the more it grew on us. Now it is one of our favorite releases of 2006! Rohan is an absolute breath of fresh air. We get it, we totally get it …and love it!

We strongly urge you to give him a listen (or 2, or 12)! ‘1943’ and ‘Woman Scream’ are two amazing tracks that you must hear! ‘Not To Blame’, ‘Like Your Smile’, & ‘Prologue’ are our other favorites.

Lyric Samples:

'Like Your Smile': "I like your smile, your hair, your style, I like the song that is on. If I had any ambition, my inhibitions would be long gone."

'Woman Scream': "I applaud the person, who swoons over my ramblings. I'd like to welcome you, to a life of love and gambling. And I know, I may never see your face. But please know, for you in my heart there's a place."

'Life Ends At 18': "Happy Birthday, have a kick in the face, it's about time that you learned your place. Remember those dreams you had as a child? You'd better get ready to kiss 'em goodbye."

'Prologue': "This prolixity of prose is old like the rose that is kept under this house. Proof read the prologue, it's grey like the old dog that sleeps by the rose, with the louse."
