In 1986, they reached the finals of the POP-86 competition in Stockholm, judged by Tommy Nilsson (Easy Action) and Kee Marcello (Europe). A year later, they signed with TAB Records and released their debut single “Hearts Keep On Burning”, featuring backing vocals from Tommy Nilsson, followed by “Fool For Your Love” in 1988. In 1990, the band briefly rebranded as Cherry Red and signed with CBS, releasing the single “Only The Strong”. However, the record deal dissolved, and it wasn't until 2008 that they released their first CD, Better Late Than Never, a collection of singles and unreleased tracks.
In the recent years, 2015. ROULETTE released the excellent "Now!" album and gained a strong feedback by both fans and media around the world.
So, nowadays the band is back with the brand new "Go!" effort. Once again ROULETTE is delivering a great mix of old-fashioned pure AOR stuff along with the some up-to-date 'pinches' and the result is pure gold. The 'anthemic' "We Remember You", the groovier "Strangers", the pure AOR gem of "What Are We Looking For", the 'punchier' "Brand New Start" and the ultra catchy tune of "Don't Be Sorry" are all great tunes in a way that brings back memories from the golden late 80's!!!! Huge choruses, some cool guitar licks, passionate vocals and these sweet harmonies that will hunt you for days!!!
An excellent melodic rock/AOR gem from ROULETTE that even if sounds like it was released back in the 80's, the fact is that is out now for your ears pleasure only!!!!!!!
