About Roller Derby
Roller Derby burst onto the UK music scene with a fresh, unapologetically vibrant pop sound that immediately captivated audiences. Formed in the hazy summer of 2020, this Brighton-based quartet quickly garnered attention for their infectious hooks, synth-laden soundscapes, and lyrics that perfectly capture the bittersweet complexities of modern life. Their early EPs, “Skate Away” and “Neon Heartbreak,” showcased a unique blend of retro-inspired synth-pop with a contemporary edge, drawing comparisons to artists like CHVRCHES and The 1975, yet always maintaining their distinct identity.
Their debut album, “Speed Queen,” released in late 2022, was a critical and commercial success, spawning hit singles “Glitter Collision” and “Wheels of Fortune,” which dominated airwaves and streaming charts alike. Roller Derby’s style is characterised by shimmering synthesizers, driving basslines, and the soaring, ethereal vocals of lead singer, Skye Harrison. Her lyrical prowess, combined with the band’s tight instrumentation from guitarist Leo Vance, bassist Chloe Davies, and drummer Sam ‘Riff’ Reynolds, creates a sound that is both danceable and deeply resonant. Their live shows are renowned for their high energy and visual flair, often incorporating elements of their namesake sport’s dynamic aesthetic into their stage presence. They are a band at the peak of their powers, constantly evolving while staying true to their pop sensibilities.
