Rolo Tomassi

biog

The band recently celebrated an anniversary – raise your glasses to five years of sonic terrorism, people – but Rolo Tomassi have never taken more time than is necessary to congratulate themselves for achievements passed and battles won. What they are presenting to the world isn’t a summary of what has gone before, tempered with the advice of cowards, but a focused blast of artistic fury that could only have been created by Eva Spence, Ed Dutton, James Spence, Joe Thorpe and Joe Nicholson.

Rolo’s roots might lie in a network of small villages around Sheffield but ‘Cosmology’, their terrifyingly exciting new album, was birthed in Los Angeles via Texas. Recording with the legendary Diplo, a man best known for his hook-ups with Britney Spears and MIA, may be a far cry from their past spent decimating underage clubs, but as a musical step forward it’s entirely logical.
