Seattle tastemaker radio station KEXP, in a recent review of Dancing On The Gallows said, 'Rose's Pawn Shop is as close to authentic bluegrass roots as you can get from an L.A. band. This is a compliment, not a bash�Rose's Pawn Shop makes a statement with their music. Life is hard and we're gonna sing about it and get over it. Sometimes it's upbeat, sometimes it's slow and sorrowful. Regardless, they know their roots and that is remarkably bold.'
