Oxford–based quintet The Rock of Travolta return with a new full-­length album. Within a year and a half of their first gig, The Rock Of Travolta had played in front of 45,000 supporting Radiohead at their immense South Park gig, released two records, headlined Truck Festival, performed at In The City, recorded a John Peel Session and featured at No.48 in his Festive Fifty.
The following two EPs and the Uluru album were released to much critical acclaim, backed by UK-wide tours that were complemented by sell-out shows at their hometown Zodiac venue.
A significant line-­‐up change spurred the band into taking a new approach to writing new material and taking it on the road – their debut gaining them critical acclaim in the local press and from the BBC. Renowned for their powerful live shows, headline gigs in London venues followed and media were quick to pick up on the excitement, with the band featuring on BBC Radio Oxford, MTV2, Channel4 and on BBC South Today news. Taking a DIY approach, the band entered a self-­‐imposed exile, taking time to ensure that the new record did justice to the vision. The results speak for themselves. The new album ‘Fine Lines’ establishes a new era for The Rock of Travolta, and the band are already set to build on this with a number of new tracks already finished and ready to
record.
