Andrew’s Judgmental Album Reviews: Rolling Quartz – Fighting (2022)

Published

on

Now YouTube done struck again! Here I am minding my own business and then it’s like HEY! Look at this new music video! And it was the music video for Delight only a couple of days old when YouTube told me about it. So I clicked, and I was pretty immediately impressed. I learned they had an EP that came out last month, and that sounded perfect for the article.

So backstory; Rolling Quartz is a mixture of musicians from the bands Rolling Girlz and Rose Quartz. An all-female Korean Rock group. They did a couple competitions, an in house streamed concert, and I believe one collab with AleXa (a great collab by the way). Rolling Quartz is: Arem on Bass, Hyun on guitar, IREE on guitar, Yeon on drums and Ja on lead vocals (yes I shortened some of their names purely for ease of Western consumption). Also in most of their recent videos they’ve actually taken to specific colors for their hair. So Arem is green, Hyun is blue, IREE is red, Yeon is purple/pink and Ja is yellow/blonde.

Don’t let the pretty faces fool you, they are all really damn good and I’m excited to see where the future leads with them!

  • Artist: Rolling Quartz
  • Album: Fighting
  • Label: Rolling Star Entertainment
  • Total Track Time: 20:56

Delight this immediately gives me J-Rock vibes from like Gackt or Hide. It’s a very clearly sung song with a great bassline throughout and just really solid Radio Rock grooves. It’s a combination of Korean and English, so if lyrical understanding is a hang up for you, this may not hit well. But the composition is simple, rocking and the backing vocals kick with a sultry echo effect. For a general lyrical understanding it seems to be a cool rocking song about not forgetting what you creating with someone and delighting in the time spent.  Holler comes off a little more pop oriented. The guitar tone is a little lighter, again general lyrical tone is about wanting to be with the person, pain and fear entices them, so they want them to holler. Lyrically seems to be a similar vein to Halestorm I Miss the Misery, but the song tone is much more radio friendly.

Rock ‘n’ Roll Paradise is straight forward as just a fun party song, but they have an interesting slow part that turns into a harmonic moment with the guitarists and bassist, before picking back up into “Party Time”. Not bad, gets the point across enough, but not quite as crazy as I’d like for a party song. Good Night now this is great, beautiful misleading open with a light classical sound before a drop out into the more up tempo song structure. Now this has a correct sexy tone mixed in with mystery since lyrics say something about “the devil comes out in the moonlight” so just a beautiful endless nightmare with the women. This is also probably the best little solo/breakdown moment so far. Simple runs and pinch harmonics, but they’re clean lifts and it fits the sexy and rough tone to the song. Easily the best song so far.

Azalea so this starts off with some of the heaviest distortion so far, and then turns into a beautiful spiteful breakup song similar to something from HIM. Equating herself to Azalea flowers during a breakup where even if the person steps on her and leaves, the wind will take the crumpled remains to circle them and make them sick of seeing her. The lead’s voice is also wonderful here, Ja hits the right tone of anger, pain and spite to make it a very powerful delivery. Higher sounds like the Dragonball Super opening theme at first. I was really marginally confused. But the high energy is great, the rhythm guitars, crashing cymbals, and rise in vocal delivery definitely work for the high energy, run towards the future concept of this song. Very fun, and again, Ja’s vocal tone is really a great focal point in this band. The stereotype of Asian women would of course be high voices, and many Japanese Rock and Pop groups don’t help the stereotype, but Ja is like a combination of Amy Lee and Lady Gaga when it comes to the tone of her voice.


For a debut EP, this is pretty solid. They show a little range in the musical composition, each member had moments to shine, and it’s definitely enough to sink your teeth into. Now my main critiques would be Holler needs to sound more like Queensryche. Add some darkness and grit to that song, while Rock’n’Roll Paradise needs a faster tempo. However the fact that 4 out 6 songs are pretty fantastic, and when I found the band I went down a rabbit hole to see some of their other stuff and they are really damn talented.

So part of this judgment is off of everything I’ve seen from them this week, but objectively, it’s a solid EP that should produce a great album eventually. Good Night is probably still my favorite song…followed by Azalea. Give the girls a listen, you won’t be disappointed.

Final Judgment: 8/10

Bandwagon Nerds #291: Its Pronounced Tuh-Doom

The Nerds cover all the best trailers from Tudum, discuss DC- Marvel crossovers, and get concerned for the future of The Last of Us.

Published

Bandwagon Nerds Mario

This week, the Bandwagon is stripped down again as the dynamic duo of Dave and Tunney guide you through the week around the Nerdosphere. Netflix had its annual fan event and mega-preview party, Tudum. The event has become notorious for dumping a slew of trailers for almost all of Netflix’s upcoming projects for the next 9-12 months. This year was no exception, and we received trailers for eagerly anticipated projects like Frankenstein, Squid Game Season 3, Happy Gilmore 2, and the long-awaited announcement about Stranger Things Season 5, along with the release dates for the separate volumes of the final season. Amazon Prime, not wanting to be left out, dropped a trailer for Season 2 of Gen V. The guys then examine the significant drop in viewers for the season finale of The Last of Us and question whether the series could be at risk of cancellation. This fate befell another popular franchise as The Wheel of Time was canceled by Prime. Are there hidden similarities between the two shows that should concern fans of HBO Max’s most popular series of all time? As if HBO Max didn’t have enough problems, we’ve been informed that the three lead roles for the Harry Potter reboot have been cast. Do these kids stand a chance, or will they be crushed by the inevitable comparison to the original three actors from the movie franchise? In much better news, though, DC and Marvel Comics are on the verge of releasing the first crossover event in over 20 years. With the two comics’ super-powers working together, Dave and Tunney ponder what other crossovers they might want to see.

Bandwagon Nerds #290: Norm!

The Nerds recap trailers for Jurassic Park: Rebirth and Welcome to Derry, discuss delays to Avengers movies, and pay their respects to George Wendt,

Published

Bandwagon Nerds Mario

This week, the Bandwagon is stripped to the core as Dave and Tunney guide you through the week around the Nerdosphere. A visit to the Trailer Park highlights anticipated hits such as Jurassic World: Rebirth, Welcome to Derry, Zootopia 2, and Predator: Killer of Killers. Is a Street Fighter movie in the works, and will Jason Momoa and Roman Reigns be in it? Sesame Street finds a new home on Netflix, plus Disney has delayed Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars by about 7 months. Is there reason to be concerned, or is this all part of a bigger plan? Plus, Dave & Tunney pay their respects to George Wendt and show love to the lasting legacy of Norm Peterson and Cheers in general.
