History
The single Rolz'n'Rulz was brought into free access on September 15, 2010, the same day as the remix EP HPS Remixed was released.
the music portal Tuzin.fm urged its readers to download the new single with such words.
The eponymous song from the single Rolz'n'Rulz, where established rules, moral, and assigned public roles are reflected, was written in a collage manner that is distinctive to the early period of the band. The second single from the album itself half-opened its secret further and showed a shift towards richer instrumental and vocal parts in songs.
Hearing process should not be easy, the song is going to slightly open gradually, more and more, with every appearance in the player, members of the band Hair Peace Salon described their work for Experty.by.
Critical reception
Anton Sieranko, reviewer over at Experty.by, heard more rock and roll motifs than the power pop ones in the single and wrote in his review piece, This is a very peppy, contagiously joyful song, with a clear melody and energetic guitars, made as simple as much with sincere enthusiasm. The coolest thing here, of course, is how the vocal parts are organized: formally, the lead vocalist is simply sung along, but it looks as if the musicians so burst with a desire to sing at least something that they push each other from the microphone away all the time.
According to critic micier Padbiarezski from ej.by, who came to the conclusion that the band had very rethought the concept of rock 'n' roll in the single, Rolz'n'Rulz is one of those songs, in which the band with such a complicated name quite convincingly demonstrates its ability to clearly organize musical material, and almost in the first place, vocals and present that properly.
In 2012 as part of the album Gentleman, the song Rolz'n'Rulz was noticed for the second time, received a good press: 'Rolz'n'Rulz rulez' (Alieh Klima, Experty.by), wonderful Rolz'n'Rulz'' (Siarhei Budkin, Experty.by, Budzma Belarusians!, Tuzin.fm), and, according to micier Padbiarezski from the site Experty.by, became a proof of the diverse repertoire of the album. Tacciana Bobier and Alina ymanskaja from the music portal Pamiarkony huk characterized the song performed live with the adjective 'driven.'
