New Rock City

‘Recalling the chaos of punk-era CBGBs, and with grand gestures toward new wave, punk, pop, and good old-fashioned rock, NYC’s New Rock City returns with a new single, ‘DA RATMAN!’. This is the third single from their forthcoming album, ‘RADIO 85’. The charismatic rock duo formed in NYC in 2012, cutting their teeth in the East Village underground scene. Kick, the guitarist, displays a fierce love for crispy, powerful riffs; lead singer Rossano channels Joan Jett and Billy Idol.

'Flaming with a heat-filled missile that will stir up your mood and get you reaching for that leather jacket to soak onto your body, New Rock City spark up the streets with an incredible inventiveness that is beyond exciting in a mostly original-lacking current world.'
- Llewelyn Screen, A&R Factory Music UK 

​

'A vibrant and gifted duo out of NYC, New Rock City brings remarkable zest into the spotlight with their phenomenal gift for creating music. With steep waves of excellence from Kick's guitar playing, to Rossano's exuberant and lively vocals, audiences get a marvelous blend of top-notch talent in the form of high-tempo,
spirited intensity. Rock and Roll at Its finest'

'Charismatic duo with a tremendous star'
- Radio Wigwam UK


'They keep their fanbase guessing what revivalist tones they will deliver next. Based on their latest single 'Da Ratman!', it's safe to say that they know just how to pull different stylistic elements together to energetically complement each other. It’s as hooky as any Misfits track, jangly as Johnny Marr’s licks.'
- Amelia Vandergast , A&R Factory UK 



'New Rock City is an original and amazing band. Their sounds rock your eardrums like nobody's business! We've had many bands come through our sound studio at Soundtrack New York throughout the 35 years that we have been in business and NRC is truly special. Live and recorded their energy and talent is truly fabulous.'
- Maegan Hayward, Soundtrack Studios NY, C.O.O.

'Their timeless music is euphoric, their catchy lyrics will play on repeat in your head and the electric, crispy and raw guitars combined with the sensual and powerful vocals will grab you at your emotions and the infectious beat will make you sway your hips back and forth'
- Patrick Keenan, Rat Productions NY

'Kick ass band'
- Genya Ravan, Underground Garage (Sirius XM)
​

'I’ve always particularly drawn to a powerful lead female vocal behind a rhythmically eclectic sound, but there’s something extra that New Rock City brings to the rock scene. Rossano is the epitome of the natural performer, her energy is timelessly infectious through her raucous attitude and charismatic euphoria which surrounds her. Kick’s guitars are a mix of soaring hooks and crisp melodies which ensure New Rock City its instrumental perfection. The NY 4-piece band have already created quite the buzz around their music and there’s still more to come with the much-anticipated second album due to drop later this year.'
