Bio

Five years, five long, exciting years... thats how long Rolodex has been delivering it's unique blend of rock music to venues in and around Edmonton. Sure the draw these guys see is not in the hundreds, but they bring people together from all walks of life, ages, and social scenes.

Part of what brings all these people to there shows is that there is litterally a song for everyone in the bands huge catalouge of original tunes. A set may start off with your basic late 90's rock song, but then be followed up by a modern Emo song, only to be topped by a progressive rock tune, and finally a blues or funk song in there as well. It's funny how that all these different styles can be thrown in to the mix, but the individual style of the group still rings through.

The band really takes it to the next level in songwriting; they always make sure the borders are non-existant when it comes time to write a new song, especially when it comes to something new. They never go 'lets change this part to make it more radio friendly', its never a compromise for them. They just play it and sing it how it is, always trying to upstage themselves. This techique really payed off when the band recieved the '2005 Billboard World Songwritting Award' for their original tune named 'The Flag'.

When asked who influences their music, everyone in the band has a different answer, most of the time from different genres. Some of these answers include: Dustin Kensrue 'Thrice', Matthew Good, Mark Makoway 'Moist', David Usher 'Mosit', Danny Carey 'Tool', Flea 'Red Hot Chilli Peppers', and many local artists that have fueled some fires in our great city.

Never sacraficing anything for the purity of their music, Rolodex have become one of the more original acts in Edmonton, but also the greatest underdogs the city may have ever seen. Are they the best kept secret in Edmonton just waiting to happen? Or are they the band that will slowly rise to the top but never really become a house hold name? Who knows....its still way to early to tell!
