Rolla is an indie rock band from Manchester, UK, formed in 2020 by brothers James and Luke Gilmore, who then added Tom Paddon, Luke McConnell, and Saul Bardsley. Their music draws influences from both classic and contemporary bands like Kasabian, IDLES, and DMA's. They aim to shake up rock 'n' roll conventions and address issues relevant to their generation.

Their song "The Slide" is featured on their EP "We Owe You Nothing", which was released on March 7, 2025. This EP is also their first vinyl release. "The Slide" is described as a set-closer type of song that has a swirling and absorbing quality, with a production style reminiscent of the "Be Here Now" era.
