A dirty-knee’d rock ‘n’ roll racket, ‘Speed To Roam’ is as rampant a return to singles action as one could hope for from ex-Royal Trux-er Jennifer Herrema. Style-over-substance suckers limp-wristedly ripping up throwback rulebooks, take note: this is punker-than-fuck rock. It’s not setting fire to already furious flames, it’s starting a blaze all of its own.
Jen is one mean gal, man, and from below a collapsing wall of West Coast surf guitars, recently relocated to NYC, and backalley dumpster drums she’s about ready to pop one off - her voice, born of gargling r’n’r poison every night since ’88; her attitude, punked to perfection. Fashion-maggers, hop off here; with Jen back in business, punk is too filthy for the likes of you.

Re: RTX - Speed To Roam
royal trux were class!
ok, so about half the albums they put out were a bit tedious but that leaves about 6!
i've sure diver knew about the modelling and the fact that RTX played a fashion party last month though, right?

T'was kinda tongue-in-cheek...
Re: RTX - Speed To Roam
...also, them playing a fashion mag gig - whatever - matters nothing. RTX, and Royal Trux before, are/is as punk as punk can be, basically.
Remember when RT signed to a major? Remember the albums they delivered?
Punk as FUCK.
Said throwbacks - and you know who they are - would be well advised to refer more to acts like RT rather than the shock-and-awe-ers of the late 70s.
Nice day, isn't it?

Re: RTX - Speed To Roam
That's got nothing to do with the music, though.
Which, from what I recall, barely compromised an inch.
