Artist description Roadside Attraction plays a brand of rock n' roll that can best be described as "Funky Hard Pop". Rock n' roll with a heavy dose of funk, punk, reggae, Latin, and more. It can be heavy and aggressive or smooth as silk. All this while still keeping a definite group sound. This is the future of rock music. Don't let the experience end here!
