Detroit Modern Rockers, Robb Roy, create music that showcases their talent for crafting big beautiful songs. Long regarded as one of the city's best bands, Robb Roy released their 4th CD "Days of Pride & Hunger" in January 2004 (on PURE Recordings). The 14 song enhanced CD also features the video "What If" by Director/DP, Kevin Carrico, who has worked with the White Stripes.

With the release of "Days of Pride & Hunger", Robb Roy have reached deep into their storied history to put together 14 tales of wonderfully crafted modern pop-rock gems. The follow up to their popular release "Happy", finds the band exploring a musical landscape steeped in tradition, while looking ahead towards where the modern rock music of tomorrow is headed. With the help of veteran Detroit producer, Jason Kuehn, Robb Roy has fleshed out the very best in Pop, Rock, and even a bit of Americana that influenced them as budding musicians.

Robb Roy show their love of rock in songs like, "Goodbye", "Battlelines", "Hole", and to the city where they cut their teeth, "Hamtramck". Their pop side shines through on "As I Am", "We", and the Beatles inspired "I Sleep". It's the leanings towards Americana though, that pull at the listener's heart. "Roll On" is a lush drive through the countryside of one of America's most treasured roads in search of contentment. "Scrapin' By" asks the question, "Are you the man you hoped to be?" At the very core of it all is the title track, "Days of Pride & Hunger". In this song the band warns, "Don't lose yourself to the past. Cherish the road and don't look back. It's not the end, but how you arrive". Arguably, this is one of the most powerful songs Robb Roy has written to date.

It's all about the music! From their earlier releases "Uh Oh Here Comes Bob", "Heroes & Cocktails", "Happy" and now "Days of Pride & Hunger", the band continues to produce some of the finest songs in rock today. In 2004 you will find the band out promoting their new CD here in the States and in Europe, with more videos expected.
