“A collision of soul-scorching hard rock with speed-fueled thrash metal. This is music that’s loud, dirty, raw, and played at a breakneck pace. Just think Motorhead crashing head-on with Slayer.”- Exclaim Magazine
“The minute i pushed play and the first song Before The Devil Knows I’m Dead started… the very first thing that came to my mind was the southern hillbilly Thrash Rockin sound of the awesome opening song of Nashville Pussy‘s High As Hell album Struttin’ Cock… it has the same sense of party rockin’ the same nonchalence, i’m going to borrow the words that the greatLester Bangs once used to describe The Guess Who… ¨They have the courage to be drunken baffoons which makes them poetic¨ and that just describes these guys so well!!! ” The Blood Shed
“Toronto’s The Rough Boys play a brand of thrash punk at such breakneck speeds that you’ll be left spinning at the side of the road like Wile E. Coyote after the Roadrunner passes him by.” – Yell Magazine
“Screaming vocals, pounding drums and screeching guitars. “Noise” is what the parents of young folk called it back in the 60’s and now, in 2014 I guess they still do, so that’s exactly why the term rock and roll is still suitable for bands like these. If you are into “new rock and roll” and have a punk attitude, I definitely advice you to check these guys out!” – Inside The Coffin
“Hide your daughters, hide your wives, The Rough Boys are coming to town and they aren’t discreet!”” – Uysfaber.com
“…great sounding mixture of thrash and punk rock and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band.”- Extreme Underground Music Zine

Born in the village of Parkdale and taking their name from a Neil Young lyric – ‘All those rough boys, playin’ that rock and roll’ – Toronto’s Rough Boys deliver unapologetic, cut-throat rock and roll with a twist.
The band’s third EP, Blood, Booze and Gasoline, which is slated for a July 22, 2014 release, offers “bluesy stoner rock songs in a punk metal setting, thus putting us somewhere in a grey area of the heavy music world,” explains vocalist/bassist Tom Gervais. Basically, if it’s an alternative to most of today’s metal genres you’re looking for, you got it!
Packed with aggression and emotion, The Rough Boys’ music is bound to leave you in both shock and awe while forcing you to press ‘Play’ again and again.
The band has shared the stage with Cauldron, Fuck the Facts, Axxion, Midnight Malice, Adrenechrome, Saigon Hookers to name a few.
