Images of the Rollers's legendary mob scene hysteria still vivid, the band lashed into 'Yesterday's Hero', a Pop anthem if ever there was earmarked w/the Bay City signature sound; Like Slade and Sweet before them, these guys might've been scorned in certain musical circles, and tho the Rollers ruled the magazine covers as reigning teenybop pop princes, they could deliver Pop-Rock anthems with lasting visceral crunch that came easily across w/songs like "Hero.."
