Let’s Call It Rock’N’Roll is the third album from Swiss band Rock-Out, due out on 11th April, via Frontiers Music Srl, and it’s preceded by the title track as their latest single and official video.
The band described the title track thus: “Being on the road and living out our great passion in front of an audience – these are our absolute highlights. True to the motto ‘Let’s Call It Rock’n’Roll’, for some a simple phrase, for us an entire life’s work.”
It follows first single, ‘American Way’, about which they said: “This track describes the time to gather all the courage to fulfil a long-awaited wish. Everyone has wishes and dreams, but you never know when they will come true. This is exactly what our new single American Way is all about.”
Talking about the album, they added: “This is not just an album, but describes the attitude of the band. The album is intended to show that handmade rock music still has a firm place in society. With old craftsmanship and modern sound, this work should bring together younger and older people all over the world to share their passion.”
Imagine a smoky room, the scent of freshly tapped beer in the air, and a crowd raising their glasses as classic rock chords tear through the atmosphere. This is said to be the world of Rock-Out, a band that embraces the raw energy of rock music in its purest form – With a no-frills attitude, loud riffs, and a passion that spills over every chord, Rock-Out is said to bring authentic, gritty rock back to the stage.
Formed in 2012, Rock-Out released their first album in 2018, Loud, Hard And Dirty. Two years later, they dropped their second album, Stand Together, raw, direct, and full of Swiss rock spirit.
Their big break came in 2022, when they performed a prime-time set on Swiss national television (SRF) during a Saturday evening showcase, reaching a massive audience and cementing their status as one of the country’s most exciting live acts. For Florian Badetscher (Guitar, vocals), Luca Gfeller (Bass), David Bärtschi (Drums), and Severin Held (Guitar), there was no safety net, no gimmicks—just pure rock energy.
Since then, Rock-Out has performed at major rock festivals across Switzerland and Germany, including Summerside, Riverside, and Rock of Ages. They’ve also conquered the club scene, selling out their first club shows and leaving audiences craving more of their powerful, melodic sound.
Rock-Out’s music is straightforward, timeless, and proudly Swiss. Hailing from the Emmental region, the band delivers powerhouse performances, said to speak louder than words.
Let’s Call It Rock’N’Roll features the tracks: ‘The Boys Are Back’, ‘Let’s Call It Rock’N’Roll’, ‘American Way’, ‘Pump It Up’, ‘Dynamite’, ‘Hcrnrsm’, ‘Wanna Live’, ‘Tears Are The Rain’, ‘Hit Me’ and ‘Don’t Call Me Honey’ – You can order it here.
