Roll It Over are a band laden with potential and already well-versed in the importance of quality control. Nothing here feels rushed or hurried with the result that the EP feels like a high budget affair rather than an independent release. - Sonic Abuse
Roll It Over is funky and cool. A hybrid of alternative, rock and pop. Clear vocals, dope instrumentation and stellar production. This band is a must listen. Guaranteed to hypnotize you. - 360 Mag

Congratulations to Roll It Over for a very strong release in Dawning on the Red Streets and for being a perennial live presence in the Maryland/Pennsylvania live music scene. They are a band we have been fans of from their very first live performance, which we were lucky enough to catch! - K-Rock
We were pleased to watch the band's first ever live show. The guys did a great job and played some very good original tunes. They handed out some free demo CD's and we picked one up for a future listen. We don't know much about these guys, but we will keep our eyes on them as well. Great job on your first live show guys...seriously...well done. - K-rock

Roll It Over took the stage about 9pm and steamrolled over the crowd with their edgy Rock and Roll. I was actually pleasantly surprised as was another local musician who said something to the effect that they were better than ever. I had never seen them but they surely will be making their mark on the local scene, trust me. - Vince Anderson

Roll It Over is hard for me to put a specific label on, but I think it is simply that they are a good old fashioned rock and roll band. They write songs that are memorable, playable on the radio (as proven by 98 rock and other big stations in Pennsylvania) , and surprising. - K-Rock

Amber Eyes is a big song, a song that is meant to be played loud and energetically. It’s the type of song that a band closes a show with – big percussion, lots of guitar and Lindsay’s sexy “oohs” fading over the audience as the curtains close. This is the first taste of Will Sims that I’ve had, but it definitely makes me thirsty for more. - Lindsey McIntyre - Creative Control Magazine
Whether you’re looking for a fun song to dance to, a potential first dance tune to pull on the heartstrings, or an angry love-hate tune – Will Sims’ new EP, May Never Be Forgotten, has it. - Lindsay McIntyre

Bio
Sims’ music echoes the work of the 90's alternative
rock movement by incorporating various genres of music as a palette to paint
different styles of imagery into his music. The vocal styles of Rob Thomas are
woven into his work, which are vocal melodies that both compliment, and are
complimented by, the music. The diversity of his voice allows him to
traverse from high energy, Foo Fighters-esque rock songs, to soft, Goo Goo
Dolls style ballads that reach for deeply buried emotions. His songs also have
a grand scale to them, built to fill arenas in a similar scale to that of a U2
or Oasis anthem.
Will Sims plans to release his debut solo EP, May Never Be Forgotten, after releasing the single “Amber Eyes.” A combination of pop, rock, and dance, "Amber Eyes," draws inspiration from Kick era INXS, and David Bowie's Let's Dance record. The song hints at the dangers of the game of love and the excitement that comes with meeting someone with whom you feel a strong connection. Another track off the debut EP, "Will You Remember?" makes you wonder if your failed relationships ever really meant something.
Through his music, Sims tries to answer questions about how relationships work and the roads people take to get to where they are. He aims to reach out to those who are struggling to let them know that they can make it through the hard times because others have been through the same ordeals. With music that is catchy, fun, and occasionally emotional, Will Sims aspires to make a connection with his audience in a way that will be as timeless as his music.
Sims’ music has been featured on radio stations in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina as well as online radio stations and podcasts. He has played shows in Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, and the Carolinas, and opened for several national acts including: Saving Abel, Adema, 12 Stones, Smile Empty Soul, Charm City Devils, Otep, Taproot, Hurt, Kip Winger, Faster Pussycat, Almost Kings, and The Dreaming.
