Unique and in-demand, White Powder Gold release their second single Rock N Rolla May 14th.

The follow up to acclaimed debut Can’t Stop Me Now, the song continues the genre thrashing of its predecessor while turning on the rock afterburners - a full on punk riot, capturing the white hot live energy of a band moving at light speed through UK urban music.

The London-based band of four – Jermaine, Jamie, Corey and Chris, signed to TwentyOne Records, are tipped to be ones to watch in 2012.

With their injected samples, hooks and live band ethos, they already own the underground scene and are now ready to hit the masses with an EP.

Described variously as "council estate indie,” punk and experimental, WPG dispense with labels to draw on influences from a wide range of musical genres:

"We love a range of sounds,” says frontman Jermaine, “The Stooges, Beastie Boys, Rage Against the Machine, Sizzla, The Stone Roses and house producers/artists like Claude Von Stroke and Daft Punk influence us. But regardless, we always try to come with our own unique vibe, which makes WPG who we are."

The band are a live phenomenon with their mix of urban and indie, a live four piece with added sampling.  They have already supported GZA of Wu-Tang Clan and held court at some of London’s most essential nights at Hoxton Pony, XOYO, Dublin Castle and more.

"We make the music we love. Sometimes that means hard bass, sometimes it’s a guitar riff, but it always comes from the soul" – Jermaine and Jamie.

Previous single Can't Stop Me Now drew support from BBC 1 Radio 1, BBC 1Xtra, MTV, SBTV, Artrocker Magazine, Record Of The Day, among many others. Rock N Rolla is the lead track from the EP.

Consisting of four tracks and two remixes, the White Powder Gold EP provides a space for the listener to vent their angst, punch the air and simultaneously move their hips.

Ready to spill out of the clubs and into the charts, Rock N Rolla is the sound of a band nearing boiling point.
