Reviews
Shadow Hero 2019
Recorded at Rogue Studios Wembley, ‘Shadow Hero’ comes across as a more honest work than it’s two predecessors. It has a more ‘live’ feel to it, a bit of a ‘back to basics’ vibe.
The album begins with the familiar ‘Nevada Midnight’. I still love the guitar that leads throughout this track. It dances around you in a majestic and enticing way. The mood changes for ‘New York Heat’ The emotion in Charlie’s voice as he pleads for help is beautiful. ‘Where Do We Go’ has an almost Spanish feel to it, with it’s gentle acoustic guitar and such an exquisite solo. Title track ‘Shadow Hero’ just gets straight into it.
The thumping drum beat and haunting vocals will have you clapping and singing along in no time. The reflective ‘Miss You’ slows things down a little as Charlie sings of regret and loss that can only come with ‘being there’. ‘Miss You’ is a solid number that has all the right ingredients to be a modern classic.
My personal favourite is next, the anthemnic ‘Love and Glory’. The track begins quietly and builds quite intensely as you get drawn in to the whole experience. The hair tingling moment of the album comes in at 2 mins 50 sec as the harmonica solo kicks in at just the right time (I actually raised my hand in the air at that moment) and the interplay with the stunning guitar solo is sublime. Chunky rocker ‘Mirage’ commands a listen and would make a worthy single. It’s rocking beat, both steady and assertive, drives this number along delightfully. ‘Take Me Down’ delivers a seductive three minutes of contemplation and admission in a balladesque way that ROLLINGEXILE are so good at.
‘Highway 55’ is another strong track that just flows along and conveys a message of beautiful memories. I love the way that Charlie knows just what to add and what to leave out on tracks like this. The album ends with ‘When You Love Someone’. A song that wouldn’t be out of place on many a successful artist’s album. It is quite stripped down and stunning because of this. A truly wonderful number to finish on.
If you are looking for a record with emotion, well written songs and excellent musicianship then ‘Shadow Hero’ is well worth seeking out. The band are touring in support of the album throughout 2019/20 in Europe and the USA. Be there, you won’t regret it.
Pete’s Rock News+Views

ROLLINGEXILE is a classic rock band around vocalist and guitarist Charlie Hallinan, who has been on the road since the early eighties and can look back on an eventful career.

As a drummer he played in the band BERLIN and even for some concerts with the superstars of U2.
He replaced the the drummer of U2 Larry Mullins, due to a broken arm for 6 concerts on an Irish tour.

These days ROLLINGEXILE present their third album "Shadow Hero". As on his two previous albums Exile (2013) and "Hardline (2016), Charlie Hallinan relies on the power of good old British rock music.
Memories of "Humble Pie," Steve Hunter, Steve Marriott, or the old "Rolling Stones" quickly come to life when listening to this warm and transparently produced CD.

All 10 songs are really catchy and you soon realize that this is an old hand at work. Striking rock songs alternate with more melodic and quiet pieces.

I particularly like the almost continuous presence of mixed acoustic and electric guitar sounds, this gives the songs abundance and that extra something.
Songs like this in our time are quite seldom played in this music genre.
Eight points for ROLLINGEXILE and "Shadow Hero"

Hardline 2016
It has been a busy couple of years for the band, what with promoting the ‘Hardline’ album plus several busy jaunts on the European Tour circuit. The writing was on the wall for the new releases when ROLLINGEXILE released the ‘Reflection’ EP earlier this year. The EP contained two new tracks (‘Nevada Midnight’ and ‘Shadow Hero’), plus a remix of the ‘Hardline’ album classic ‘Good Morning London’ and the original version of the ‘Hardline’s’ ‘I Sit and I Wonder’. Both of the new tracks sounded great, so I sat and I wondered (pun intended) about the new album with genuine excitement’
Hardline is a breath of fresh air... that showcases the beauty of melody & word, that reveals just how meaningful a 3 minute song can be. .. Pete’s Rock News+Views
The Hardline album is brilliant rock, It brings back the good times of rock and roll, with its varied genres, intros, and instrumental sounds, there are a lot of tracks that have a high chance of becoming worldwide hits, and they for sure deserve it. .. Chatsong Music
Hardline Some albums have strong tracks and filler tracks, Hardline was unusual as every track was strong... Great Album, Get It!“ .. Niki Tyler EGH Radio
