| Rogue Thief is an independent music project consisting of a lead guitar,
a rhythm (or more accurately, a "bass-emulating") guitar, a simple,
repetitive and aggressive electronic drum kit, and my own voice...All
parts are written and performed by myself
(Rocco).
In
addition to writing and performing these tracks, I've also done all of
the mixing and mastering myself; customizing each song individually to
reflect the specific feeling that I feel each one should convey.
Personally, I am a fan of high end gain, muddy vocals and a lot of fuzz;
this fact probably being due to my personal tastes in music (I've always
tried to create a low- budget yet listener friendly sound, reminiscent
to the early punk rock recordings of the late 70's which I've come to
know and love-- I try to update this "everything in the red zone" style
by recording digitally as opposed to analog...If I had to explain my
sound conceptually, I would liken it to the monster in a modern Japanese
horror movie; you don't know why but it just works...let's just call it
an advanced prototype...
Well, that's my
style....as to influences....I don't really listen to a lot of music
save for my own; I don't have time to do so with all I've got on my
plate...I like anything that's not afraid to be what it is. I realize
that that was a cheesy statement on the topic
