With Rota’s six-member band, they are able to cover a lot of musical material. The songwriting and lyrics in both are solid. Reckamp turns in some very nice guitar parts that shine a light on his skills. The foundation is kept full and solid with Kelly and Hanewinkel at the helm and Barcinas’ percussion is the icing on the cake. “Helluva Daze” has a rhythmically catchy melody and hip guitar hook that will stick in your head for days. “Shake And Roll” highlights a wah-wah guitar figure that segues right into the reggae feel. As the name implies, there is more of a rock influence on this one, but the band blends the two seamlessly. Reckamp takes a very tasty guitar solo. Rota is on a solid path, if you are a fan of bands like Rebelution, like we are, you will love Rota too. That’s the short of it!
