Someone To Kill

Roxanne

Zoo Freaks, get ready to crank up the volume as The Zoo Crew spins "Someone To Kill" by Roxanne from their album Radio Silence! This track is a standout, blending a '70s rock vibe with modern production, as noted in a Sleaze Roxx review, which praised its "real '70s feel" and "fantastic" sound. In an interview with Audio Ink Radio, Roxanne's frontman Jamie Brown shared that "Someone To Kill" is his favorite song on the album, capturing the band's signature '80s harmony guitars and background vocals while feeling fresh and contemporary. Brown emphasized the song's driving energy, saying it’s the kind of track you’d want to "crank in your car and drive fast with the windows down," a sentiment echoed by The Rockpit, which called the album a "champagne-fueled flight" of classic rock.

Adding to the song’s allure, "Someone To Kill" was one of three tracks from Radio Silence to get a music video, alongside "Super Bad" and "Thin Blue Line," showcasing Roxanne’s range of styles. The song’s groove and attitude draw from the band’s early days, with Brown noting in a My Global Mind interview that it feels like a natural follow-up to their 1988 debut. Interestingly, while the album features guest appearances from rock heavyweights like George Lynch, dUg Pinnick, and Ray Luzier, "Someone To Kill" stands on its own as a pure Roxanne creation, highlighting their ability to craft timeless rock anthems. Fans on Roxanne’s Facebook have shared their love for the track, with some calling it a perfect blend of nostalgia and modern edge, making it a staple for any Zoo Crew playlist.

Roxanne’s journey began in the mid-1980s in Los Angeles, where the band formed around 1986, as Brown recounted in his My Global Mind interview. Their self-titled debut album, released in 1988 on Scotti Brothers Records, gained traction with singles like "Cherry Bay" and a cover of "Play That Funky Music," which hit #63 on the Billboard charts and earned them a spot on national TV with a performance on The Late Show. Despite this early success, the band faced challenges due to a strained relationship with their label, leading to their breakup after feeling they had little future in the music business. For the next three decades, the members played in cover bands, but their passion for original music never faded. In 2018, Roxanne reunited and signed with Rat Pak Records, releasing Radio Silence after a 30-year hiatus, proving their resilience and dedication to rock.

Today, Roxanne continues to connect with fans through their official channels and vibrant fan communities.
