The ongoing evolution of Roulette is apparent as they’ve created their masterpiece. With shredding riffs, hauntingly melodic vocals, and hard hitting drums, this is the track. Any wrestler or fighter would be lucky to have this accompany a walk to the ring.

Since you guys are based out of Asbury Park, what is the metal/hard rock music scene like there? What’s the best part about it? 

Asbury Park is a great incubator for musicians of all types. There aren’t too many “hard rock/ metal” bands here so we get to know everyone pretty quickly in that particular “scene.” It’s like our own little tight-knit club of misfits. read more

The Aquarian Weekly

"Roulette is a breath of fresh air to this music scene. Their music is hard and heavy carried by the strong vocals of singer Jess Bariletti." (Read the entire article HERE)

Outlawed Reviews

Speak Into My Good Eye

"Asbury Park Punk-Rock outfit Roulette sits only days away from unveiling its debut EP BrainDead and has teamed up with SIMGE to provide listeners a taste of what’s to come with the lead single “Screw Your Standards”, a torrential downpour of flame-licked six-string procedures and adversely sugar-coated refrains that invite all pit bosses to the foot of the stage for a collective gang chorus.

“BrainDead has a concept behind it but we wouldn’t call it a ‘concept album’” Roulette drummer Joe Scarpino said. “It’s dark, it’s loud, it’s fast, it’s angry, and lyrically relevant. We hope that people enjoy the lyrical content of the album as much as the instrumentals. We think there is this sense of tension….even  frustration among people our age. We want listeners to know that we know. That we’re at that point too. And we hope that our music can be a bit of relief.”

Those who traverse the local Punk-Rock scene will recognize a familiar set of shredded vocals amongst the alluring howls of front-woman Jess Bariletti, as Roulette tapped Lost In Society’s own Zach Moyle to tackle a verse on this piece of scorched-earth Punk."

"On the titled track, Roulette's BrainDead punches it's weight by mauling rather than merely fighting and by leading with it's chin (guitars)"

"One of the coolest moments we’ve had was after playing a show in Garwood, NJ, a few people came up and asked for our autographs. The first time hearing our song ‘Fact or Fiction’ on the radio was so amazing too."

Speak Into My Good Eye

“It’s a tale as old as rock and roll itself. Head down to the crossroads and meet a man from down below, and sell your soul for glory. That’s exactly the format Asbury Park, NJ’s hard-metalers Roulette follow in the video for their latest single “Fact Or Fiction”. As is usually the case, their new god-like personas go to their heads leading the band to end up busking on the Asbury Park boardwalk. Don’t fret, there’s a happy ending and plenty of face-melting riffs in this story. Watch the video for Roulette’s “Fact Or Fiction” below and catch them at the Wonder Bar on May 2nd with Breathing Diesel, Reese Van Riper, and The Black Clouds.”
