Ryan Roxie Releases "The Solution" Video With Roxie 77 Band

July 20, 2014

Roxie 77 is a rock band featuring vocalist, guitarist and songwriter Ryan Roxie, longtime collaborator and guitarist for Alice Cooper and lead guitarist for Swedish band Casablanca. The band has recently released the ‘Ameriswede EP’ and have premiered the album’s first video “The Solution”.

After forming Roxie 77 in 2002 in Los Angeles and a debut release, ‘Peace, Love & Armageddon’ two years later, Roxie relocated to Sweden in 2006 and assembled the current line-up of Anton Korberg, Magnus Wikstrom and Eric Rydman. The band released the lush ‘Two Sides To Every’ Story in 2009.

At an Alice Cooper concert in 2013, Bellyache Records owner and Alice Cooper fanatic Scotty Hagen approached Roxie about the possibility of releasing a two-track 7″ single on the label. The project eventually blossomed into a six-song 12″ EP release with dual mixes of each song: an “American” side mixed by fellow Alice Cooper guitarist Tommy Henriksen, and a “Swedish” side mixed by producer Jon Bordon. The end result? The ‘Ameriswede EP’, a classic high-energy power-pop record with echoes of Cheap Trick, Johnny Thunders & the Heartbreakers, Stars and Sloan.
