Press

"RootsCollider is a menacing wall of sound, a collection of colossal textures and beats, a bombastic blast of epic resonance played with searing passion and arctic cool. Elements of reggae, jam music, and jazz get torqued in the extreme via RootsCollider's obvious love and adherence to drum and bass. The band calls it "livetronica." This Rochester foursome - Wil McKenna on guitar, Bill Smith on keyboards, Jimmy Grillo on drums, and Dexter Redic on bass - does it beautifully backwards.

— Frank Deblase, City Magazine

“You've felt the music of the Buddhahood and Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad. Now welcome RootsCollider, the latest edition to the local scene, where some of the best and most popular bands create music driven by a vibe rather than a sound.”

— Troy Smith, Insider Magazine

“For those of you who are slightly suspect of the digital medium, consider RootsCollider. This Rochester trio is the analogue answer to the overly electronic dominance of the style. The music is trance-like and transient, and seems just a little more real in the hands of musicians who also get those hands on, around, and in organic - that is, real - instruments. ”

— Frank Deblase, City Magazine

“Drum and Bass colored with funky keys, rhythm that rolls, rocks and dares you to keep up with it. Sweeping solos fueled with distorted syncopation exulting the audience then space inflected jamming to marionette their heads. Music you feel through your frame without a distracting vocal line, allowing you to sense the next direction, but ultimately you’ll be wrong. Only RootsCollider instinctively knows where they’re going next. Bill Smith’s keyboard colors are easily painted across timekeeper Jimmy Grillo’s driving beats all reinforced and bottom driven by WiL McKenna’s bass lines. It’s as if each is soloing in perfect arrangement, one moves forward, two move back, sliding from tempo to tempo in unison. Ubiquitous and oblique, driven by forces us mere humans may not understand besides the automatic kinship with the force of the groove. ”

— Greg Jackson, UpstateLive Music Guide
