The band release records through their own DIY label Snakes & Ladders and has toured extensively in the UK.

The Roaring Twenties released a limited edition EP "Fun Before the Crash" and had two tracks included in early 2006 on Snakes & Ladders Records' label sampler "S&LCD001". In December 2006 the label will release the band's first single.

Press

The Roaring Twenties have been reviewed in several underground music fanzines and magazines including ArtRocker, Maps (online), I Think You'll Find That's Fireworks (online), Lobster Quadrille and Antenna. The band have also had tracks played on ArtRocker's weekly radio programme on London's Resonance FM and BBC Radio 1's Best of Unsigned programme with Huw Stephens.

"The Roaring Twenties are a strange mix of Gang of Four and The Red Hot Chili Peppers' John Frusciante...their slow-burner of a set comprising three-minute pop gems." [ArtRocker, February 06]

"...with great certainty one would expect to hear a lot more from these bands and this label in the coming years." [Rough Trade Shop website, March 06]

"The Roaring Twenties...deliver a smart line in lo-fi post punk, coming across like an aggressive The Pop Group on "A to Markworthy" [God is in the TV Zine, April 06]

"The Roaring Twenties...bring to mind much underrated Americans Moving Units with their elastic punk-funk sound" [Maps Magazine, May 06]
