Slow Roosevelt stand as a Pillar group on the Texas Music scene. Not only have they been packing houses consistently, but they are on the road non stop and most recently played to 10,000 rabid rock fans with Kid Rock, Drowning Pool, Puddle of Mudd, and Adema at KEGL's BFD Concert in Dallas, Texas. The band has successfully evolved into an act ready to step up to the next level.


Along the way, they have refined the Slo Ro sound and learned how to craft songs that get under your skin and stick to your bones. Electrifying, relentless guitars chiseled out of stone by Scott Minyard are deeply grounded by the precision pounding of Aaron Lyons ( drums) and the low frequency mastery of Mark Sodders (Bass). When lead vocalist Pete Thomas approaches the mic, the audience is not sure that to expect from a modelesque guy that wears a cardigan sweater and heavy rimmed black glasses until he growls his first crowd dominating verse... the crowd knows its time to rock.


Slo Ro is an original, unique combination of heavy hook ladened rock and true sarcastic punk attitude and intensity that reaches out and commands your respect. Their Reality Entertainment debut, "Weightless" features 10 relentless, gripping tracks that refuse to let you leave alive. From the first deceiving riff of "Boys Lie, Girls Steal" to the final pounding notes of "Radio Drowning" the record leaves you exhausted. Even the momentary reprieve in From "Laughing Comes Crying" comes back to punch you in the face. Killer Riffs, Major Texas Attitude and Hook after Hook, SLO RO delivers. Slo Ro and team have proven themselves a formidable force. With a huge Texas fan base, aggressive regional street teams and heavy support from radio (KDGE,KEGL) Slow Roosevelt and "Weightless" are ripe for the current rock market.
