Roulette was formed in 1985 in Sundsvall, Sweden. All the guys had been in previous bands with Hansi Fellbrink (ex-Overload), Lundgren and Nesslin (Red Skies) and the Nelin brothers (The Kaza): five young guys who had found each other, clicked and started to rehearse songs and play live at rock clubs and festivals around Sweden. They became one of the most popular bands in their hometown and had a couple of hits on the local radio stations. The year after they took part in the competition POP-86, where they went to the finals. In the jury was Tommy Nilsson from Easy Action and Kee Marcello from Europe. In 1987 they signed a record deal with TAB Records and released their first single ”Hearts Keep On Burning” with Tommy Nilsson on backing vocals. The second single was released in 1988, called ”Fool For Your Love” and a video was made to promote the song. During this period Roulette performed on many Swedish TV shows like Top Gear, Night Life and Metropol where they performed two songs on the same show as Status Quo and were support act to none other than Chuck Berry at Hede Festival. They also had the privilege of sharing the stage with Treat, Guardian Angels, Electric Boys and Lions Share.In 1990, influenced by their prospective label, they changed their name to Cherry Red and won a record deal with CBS. They started to record their first full-length album with producer Per Blom, but unfortunately at the same time CBS signed another AOR band, called Rat Bat Blue, and after recording only three songs, the album became just a single, called ”Only The Strong” and was released on the CBS subsidiary label Cupol Records. With the failure of not having a full album release, some of the band members left the band to work with other artists. They continued to play together as a Def Leppard tribute band.In the beginning of 2008, Roulette was contacted by the record label AOR-FM, and they released a limited 17-song Best Of album with singles/demos, named ”Better Late Than Never”. It was a huge success, got great reviews and sold out in only a couple of weeks. In 2010, the record label YesterRock released their version of ”Better Late Than Never”, with two new demo songs.Then some of the original Roulette members played with cover bands and started to write songs with other bands in Sweden. In 2013 bass player Hansi wrote a new song, called ”Secret Room”, and asked singer Tomas if he liked it. He did, so they started to meet up writing new material with guitarist Magnus. Now the band has recorded three new singles in Boxroom Production Studios in thier hometown with one of Sweden's most recommended producers, Chris Rehn: ”Secret Room” (2015), ”Right By Your Side” (2016) and ”The Only Way” (2017).The feedback has been amazing and radio stations, fans and other AOR friends have all told the band that the new songs - including the production - are great and they are longing for Roulette to go into the studio and record a full-length album.
