Barcelona trio deliver a retro-fueled anthem that bridges classic grooves with modern punch
Barcelona’s GAZ return with Let It Roll, a spirited ode to the timeless power of rock and roll. Out now, the single captures the band’s deep devotion to classic rock, weaving their Mediterranean energy into a track that feels both nostalgically familiar and urgently fresh. Following their 2020 album Watergazed, which cemented their love for vintage grooves framed by contemporary polish, this release leans even further into their influences while reaffirming the band’s identity as torchbearers of the genre.
From its opening bars, Let It Roll lives up to its name. Blues-driven guitar riffs and a steady backbeat lock in with vibrant basslines, while honky-tonk piano flourishes add playful swagger. A brass section punctuates the arrangement, culminating in a fiery saxophone solo that tips its hat to the larger-than-life energy of Springsteen’s E Street Band. Layered background harmonies give the track extra lift, making it feel expansive without losing the raw warmth at its core.
At the front, lead vocalist and bassist Josep Antoni Lopez delivers with conviction, his voice carrying grit and soul. Guitarist Jordi Perdigo unleashes riffs that dance between tight blues phrasing and expansive rock statements, while Albert Perdigo’s propulsive drumming anchors the song’s momentum. Together, the trio embody the effortless interplay that comes from decades of shared experience—the chemistry of a band that’s spent 20 years living, breathing, and evolving with rock and roll.
GAZ have never been content to let nostalgia do the work. While Let It Roll nods to greats like The Rolling Stones, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and The Who, its energy and attention to detail ensure the music feels alive, not archival. It’s a celebration of the genre’s roots and a declaration that rock’s pulse is still strong in 2025.
With Let It Roll, GAZ invite listeners to embrace the flow, surrender to the groove, and, true to their title, simply roll with it.
