There's a rave review of one of their shows supporting DeWolff last month - a short tour where all the reviews have been raves; see the replies at https://www.democraticunderground.com/1034116660 - and they're in the magazine's High Hopes feature.
The photo of the concert review in their Facebook post is clear enough for you to read that. The band's FB post says it's "a killer live review" and it is. Classic Rock calls "singer Jonnie Hodson's vocals a Paul Rodgers-esque thing of wonder."
From the High Hopes article about them:
-snip-
Blues pioneers such as Muddy Waters, Freddie King and Albert Collins, as well as Led Zeppelin, are echoed within Silverollers folksy stylings and soulful melodies. Were going to that original well where rocknroll came from, Hodson explains. Theres not many bells and whistles; its raw. Theyre also strong advocates of recording live in the studio, where trapping bum notes is all part of the magic. What made Johnny Cash as rocknroll as AC/DC or Black Sabbath was the attitude and rawness, adds guitarist Aaron Keylock. Its capturing that and not losing it.
Despite only being in their mid-20s, Silveroller are not new to the scene. In 2017 Keylock appeared in Classic Rock as a solo artist. Not satisfied with that centre-stage role, he sought out a band. Growing up, I wanted what Tom Petty had [with The Heartbreakers], he says. I wanted that brother.
Were as influenced by Muddy Waters, Freddie King and all the blues/soul guys as we are by Rival Sons, Led Zeppelin, Humble Pie and the Faces, the band say of their rich, retro palette of inspirations. We wanted that raw feel of Bad Companys first album, and the Rolling Stones Exile OnMain St was also a big influence.
I wish I had video of the show in Hastings that the magazine reviewed. But since I don't, I think I'll post video from their Oxford show, of all but the very beginning of Come On, Come In:
