Thanks for stopping by. Please check out my album "Better Light" at https://soundcloud.com/search/albums?q=alex%20emanuel%20better%20light 

“Better Light is, at its heart, a shot of defiance in the face of all the crazy we have found ourselves confronting over the past few years. (Alex) Emanuel has put together a sonic stew, the heart of which is driven by a reverb drenched ’65 Guild Polara laying down fuzzed out lyrical riffs that bring to mind bands like Teenage Fanclub, Luna, and Sebadoh. (He is) clearly a guy who attended Rock and Roll High School, and he learned his lessons well”– Boog City

“Alex Emanuel brought fire to song “Dark Sex”– theatermania.com

“Rock! Right off the bat. Heres a bold reminder that there is hope in the myriad of mundane music that’s out there. Alex Emanuel’s vocals are cool in the style of Bob Pollard, Jeremy Enick, and that dude from the Libertines”– Storylinerecords.com

“Alex Emanuel’s delivery adds to the charm; an almost Buck Cherry, Cobain vocal style. Angsty energy drive the (material) along without any whine”– gildthelilly

“Alex Emanuel hits it right on the head. This here is some volatile punk-infused rock… Hopefully the whole world will get turned on to (his band) just before they explode into Rock ‘N F’ N’ Roll oblivion of amphetamines and Tidy Bowl”– hybrid news

“Alex (Emanuel)’s voice has the distinctive rasp of cuddle-boy pipes being pushed past the max; totally fierce”– LES Music News

“Alex Emanuel’s vocals (are) equal parts gutter beg and glamour scoff. Ex Recess, is perhaps the most compelling moment of the night, a song filled with big, hopeful chords and refrains, but with lyrics that highlight some of Emanuel’s more caustic insights into human relationships”– 10×10 Magazine, Chicago

“Alex Emanuel isn’t going to bother with ostentatious rock lyric posturing, and actually say what he means. He even goes a little Tom Verlaine-esque at times”– motherwest/the deli

“Alex Emanuel fronts a four piece from NYC that sound nothing like the garage-rock, cookie cutter, strokes-esque, thing that’s going on in the city right now. The female backup and alternating vocals make it sound like cindy lauper singing behind mick jagger or joe strummer”. – HV Scene

“Rollo’s fist-in-the-eye brand of rock… raw, garage, punk rock, heavy on the 70’s style but with a modern slant. Alex Emanuel’s unique, raspy snarl perfectly fits the mood”– splendidezine

“with Alex (Emanuel)’s rockin’ vocals, his four piece Rollo sound fun as hell… like a good party band for one sex and drug fueled night out on the town”.– crashinin.com

“Satisfying… (Alex Emanuel) deserves it. Very r’n’r in a Jon Spencer BE kind of way”– the deli

“(Alex Emanuel) is great! One of the better cds I’ve heard in a while”– fata booking

“the new wave blues explosions of Alex Emanuel and Rollo”– ny press

“you can hear the influences, however subtle, of old glam rock, garage rock, even a tinge of the grunge thing, but this band is first and foremost about writing good songs, plugging in, and playing them loud. And as such, there’s a rawness that pervades, that in-your-gut attack one gets from a power trio. (Alex Emanuel’s) vocals are of the emotional type, as if (he) actually believes the lyrics (he’s) singing… how often does that happen nowadays?”– ny rock street beat

“(Alex Emanuel and Transit Belle’s) melody-and-guitar mix recalls Dinosaur Jr., Squirrel Bait and Soul Asylum…they sound extremely serious in their intentions”– village voice choices

“A great song—or songs—can sell a film… and (Alex Emanuel and) THE INCOHERENTS brings the tunes to the turntable”– bandsaboutmovies.com
