STEAMROLLER
Steamroller is a rock band that has haunted Austin, Texas (and many other towns) since 1994. The band still plays a few selective shows per year.
Back in their heyday, Steamroller earned a following by holding long-term residencies at legendary Austin venues such as the Black Cat Lounge, Steamboat, and Antone's while regularly playing classic Texas road joints like the Dixie Theatre in Bryan, Club Dada in Dallas, and the Satellite Lounge in Houston.
The band released 4 full-length CDs (Steamroller – 1995, Cabin Fever – 1997, Razzle Dazzle – 1998, Full Throttle – 2000) and an EP (Smoke Damaged – 2001). Steamroller's releases enjoyed modest airplay on their hometown FM rock mainstay KLBJ, numerous other commercial rock stations throughout the US, and on college radio nationwide.
Steamroller's tour highlights included gigs in California, Colorado, Oregon, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Florida as well as sharing the second stage with Gov't Mule for a couple of shows on the 1998 HORDE Festival Tour headlined by Blues Traveler, Ben Harper, and Smashing Pumpkins.
Who IS STEAMROLLER?
Gather Round for the Stereo Sound
Steamroller's unique sound features heavy grooves and harmony vocals blending hard rock, southern rock, and funk (with a dash of rap, pop, punk, and even a little reggae and ska sometimes).
Many of Steamroller’s original songs are musically rowdy, but the band always mixes in a few songs that are a little more mellow and moody.
At shows Steamroller has been known to tip the hat to classic rock, country, reggae, hip-hop, TV show themes, and pop songs —— usually through medleys incorporated into their own songs rather than actually covering songs outright.
